Laurie Mohning, Community Activist

 I’m a community activist, and I’m a CEC Climate Steward.

About Laurie

Climate Steward alum and Lompoc resident Laurie Mohning is teaching people how to take small “bites” out of “the elephant in the room”: plastic waste. Her Stewardship Project evolved into a podcast called The Plastic Elephant, designed to provide tips for people on how to reduce the amount of plastic that they put into the waste stream — such as more sustainable options for typically plastic-packaged products. “There are so many zero-waste alternatives out there,” Laurie says. “I want to let people know what these alternatives are and where they can find them, as part of the little things they can do to reduce the amount of plastic that reaches our oceans and pollutes our environment.”
