Childhood friends Erika and Kayla actively championed river health in their hometown. Through the Youth Tribal Council and a Salmon Run Relay, they raised awareness about the declining Klamath and Trinity rivers. Excessive water diversion for agriculture, requiring dams and heavy irrigation, had severely depleted water tables and fish populations like salmon, sturgeon, and trout.

The Salmon Run Relay, mimicking salmon migration, also educated the community on native diet and culture, featuring a ceremony based on Yurok, Hupa, and Karuk traditions. Erika and Kayla further organized town hall meetings and distributed pamphlets, aiming to unite cultures, promote health, and encourage political engagement for river conservation.

Most purchases become waste within a year, an economic reality Tom Szaky terms "negative demand." He asserts this is fixable, as everything is recoverable if economics support the effort. Though convenience led us to abandon reuse, modern systems globally prove large-scale reuse is achievable across many product categories.

Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle, pioneered recycling for challenging items like cigarette butts and diapers. He also launched Loop, a platform for products in durable, reusable packaging from major brands. An author recognized by global organizations, his insights were shared at a TEDx event.
