Hi everyone! My name is Crystal and I am running to be your next PARSA Environmental Representative. My objective is simple – to achieve a more sustainable and environmentally friendly campus experience for all postgraduate students. My commitment to the environment began when I was young, growing up on a farm in rural Victoria. During this time, I witnessed environmental degradation and climate change occurring right before my eyes through the millennium drought and Black Saturday bush fires. As a result, I have committed myself to improving our environment so that we can all look forward to living long and healthy lives.
Last year, I began the Juris Doctor program here at the ANU. More recently, I moved into the ACT State Coordinator role within the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC). I also completed an internship with Environmental Justice Australia, working on key law reform projects around climate change and the regulation of polluters in Australia. These experiences have given me the skills that I need to bring change to the ANU. If elected, I endeavour to create a greener campus by improving accessibility to green transport via the construction of fixed bike pumps and electric car chargers. I hope to increase environmental awareness through education programs, networking events, nature camps, and improvements to our campus waste system. If you’d like to learn more about these initiatives or the Empower Team, please visit ourwebsite , follow us on Instagram on Instagram and Facebook.
