Hi, I’m Yasmine! I am a recent bilingual university graduate in Environmental Economics and Public Policy, based in Ottawa, originally from Toronto! I am super excited and grateful to be a part of EcoYouth! I find that although young people can often be the most outspoken when it comes to environmental issues and policies, it can be hard for us to measure our impact and make sure our voices are heard! Ecology Ottawa providing us with a platform and a space to discuss and learn is such an essential part of shaping my environmental advocacy! I, for one, can’t wait to do a deep dive on issues related to urban studies and living cities, which I know Ecology Ottawa has a large profile on!
