Charlie: At Conamix, we are working to reduce the cost of electric vehicles with low cost battery material that eliminates the need for harmful cobalt to be used in car batteries.
Kenrick: Most people don't know who their local elected officials are, what they do, or who is running to replace them. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to make it easier for constituents to get more involved in local politics, in simple, easy, and free ways. Ultimately, the more that people are educated about policies and are participating in politics, the better. It’s a great thing not only for our communities, but for the practice of democracy in general.
Jennifer: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! So, we reduce the litter that lines the streets of the South Bronx sidewalks and community gardens by hosting weekly clean-ups. In the beginning, what motivated me was my love for my borough and its history. That love continues to motivate me. It’s less about picking up trash and more about building community connections through our love for our neighborhoods and green spaces.
