Sarah Goff advocates for a revolutionary nationwide reuse retail system to address overconsumption, waste, and the climate crisis. This system would rival big box stores in convenience and square footage, utilizing existing local resources to eliminate the need for new manufacturing and shipping.

Goff is the executive director and co-founder of The Repurpose Project, a Gainesville, Florida non-profit focused on creative reuse and architectural salvage. Her passion stems from her childhood in the Marshall Islands, where she witnessed ocean plastic pollution and now sees her home threatened by climate change. Her work combines art, science, and a commitment to a better world.

Mackenzie Feldman, 23, from Honolulu, Hawaii, founded Herbicide-Free Campus to ban herbicides at schools nationwide. Her campaign began at UC Berkeley, inspired by Hawaii's industrial agriculture and its impact on land and people. After an herbicide spraying incident at UC Berkeley's volleyball courts, she successfully initiated a campus-wide ban.

A major achievement was the temporary ban of glyphosate across all University of California campuses. Mackenzie has since expanded her efforts nationally, mentoring students, providing resources, and training them in campaign strategy and alternative maintenance methods. She aims for a toxic-free world, protecting communities and ecosystems from harmful pesticides.
