Brower Youth Awards — Tania Pulido
Rikshaw Films
(USA, 2011, 4 min)
In a city plagued by high crime and industrial pollution, Tania Pulido runs a community garden that’s more than just a place to grow food. The Berryland garden in the Iron Triangle neighborhood of Richmond, CA, is also a space where local youth can take summer apprenticeships and learn about issues like climate change and environmental racism. Tania is deeply involved in issues impacting the health of her community, including a campaign against the local Chevron oil refinery.
This is one of six beautiful films that highlight the activism of The Earth Island Institute’s 2011 Brower Youth Award winners, today’s most visionary and strategic young environmentalists.
