Simran Sethi

I went to Derryberry to listen to Simran Sethi speak about "Green For All: Environmental Equity.” I thought that Ms. Sethi’s presentation was very interesting. I was definitely one of the skeptical people who thought she was just going to complain about what people should do to save the environment but she did not do this at all. She made her presentation interesting and connected it to things that the audience could relate to. One of her slogans she kept repeating was reduce, reuse, recycle, and relate. The term “relate” really helped me realize if I did something such as use an energy saving light bulb this could help the cost of my electricity bill as well as save energy. I liked her idea of how if we all start informing people of these environmental friendly tips, we could really start saving the beauty of our planet. Simran Sethi is quite an amazing woman. She is proof that you can do accomplish whatever you want as long as you set your mind to it. Graduating from an all female university, I’m sure she had to endure criticism about how she would never be able to do anything more than just fight for women’s rights. Well, she does that and so much more.
