What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

We had an interview with Linda Escalante. Escalante is a renowned environmental expert in the United States. She promotes strong relationships with state and local elected officials, partner organizations, coalitions, and other stakeholders.

We learned lots of new interesting information during this interview. For one thing, the less water that’s available, the more concentrated the chemicals in the water. We need to find substitutes for certain products that produce an excessive amount of pollution.
