Joanne Poyourow is a change-maker. She started two community gardens, created a seed company, founded a grassroots environmental activism group, and wrote a book that started it all.
In today’s podcast, Joanne shares her journey from feeling helpless about Climate Change, to fostering a positive impact on her local community and beyond. She has funneled her gardening knowledge into several publications that raise awareness and reduce one’s carbon footprint at the same time.
Environmental Change-Makers is headquartered at Holy Nativity Church in Westchester, Los Angeles. There you will find one of two community gardens in the neighborhood, a community oven (for monthly bread and pizzas bakes), an enviable water catchment system, compost piles, and a classroom.
