Meet Alex Chen, a third-year Environmental Science student at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a bustling city, Alex always felt out of touch with nature and wished to bring attention to environmental issues affecting urban areas. With a passion for conservation and a knack for witty one-liners, they often comment on social media about the challenges of engaging others in their cause, emphasizing how it sometimes feels like a compulsory battle against apathy. Balancing their studies with activism, Alex's perspective is shaped by a desire for involuntary change in public attitudes toward sustainability.
