Maranda first began her journey as a climate activist in the Green Team, a club at her school. “When I was in fourth grade, I learned about microbeads, plastics and pollution in the ocean, which opened my eyes to climate activism and being involved in it,” Maranda said. “Thats when I joined the green team at my school and [started] seeing what our reality already looks like and then what it could be like.”](https://chscommunicator.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/climateimage-900x675.jpeg)
