\u201cI would like to show how this was an example of an amazing opportunity for students to get involved in environmental planning and how it might lead to more involvement after school,\u201d Payne said.<\/p>\n
Climate conversation at K was inspiring<\/h2>\n

\u201cI remember talking in class about how the actual city of Kalamazoo was the site of the largest land-oil spill in the U.S.,\u201d she said. \u201cLearning about it was eye opening. The school itself and professors pushed me to think more creatively about what I could do, and how I could engage the community at large. I fell in love with environmental science courses.\u201d<\/p>\n
The discovery of her passion for environmentalism led to a Senior Individualized Project involving a Paul Clements congressional campaign, during which she learned about national environmental policy. Now, she can tell others about the exciting things done at K to address sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of the work we did at K is how I ended up working in environmentalism,\u201d Payne said. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to talk about the role I have now with Environment America.
