My name is Daniela Pierro and I am an 8th grader at LREI: the Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School. I am a part of the "No Water, No Life" group that focuses on the many social injustices pertaining to water, especially water pollution, overfishing, and coral reef bleaching and destruction. I am passionate about this issue because it affects everyone, and is present all around us. I also identify with this issue because I know that many of the decisions I make on a daily basis affect it, and that I am affected by it. I think that it is something that the world needs to become more aware of because its consequences are impacting our lives, whether we know it or not. My goal is to become more aware and educated about this prevalent humanitarian issue, and to make a substantial improvement.
