Evangelina (Evie) Lauzon
Evangelina (Evie) Lauzon is a freshman high school student in New England. Throughout her whole life, she has always been looking for more and more ways to help the environment. She got an early start in philanthropic environmentalism when she was eight years old by raising money for the Jane Goodall Institute. She was awarded Project of the Month and was featured in the Annual Report from the Jane Goodall Institute. She continues to organize annual fundraisers benefiting the Jane Goodall Institute and other environmentally positive causes. Through social media campaigns and google classrooms, Evie has been focusing her efforts recently on building awareness of the palm oil crisis. On these platforms, she also supplies opportunities for others to get involved themselves. Some of these opportunities include sending letters to companies that contain palm oil to influence changes in their use of palm oil. In addition to the campaigns, she started a petition on Change.org to raise awareness and gain support to contact companies and to create palm oil-free high schools. On this petition, she gained 50,000 supporters. She partakes in trash pickups in her free time in local areas, beaches, and roadways. Evie recently joined the group Palm-to-Palm and is looking forward to contributing further efforts to stopping the palm oil industry.
