Lauren Bash (@ReLauren) is an environmentalist and sustainability content creator from Los Angeles. Being born + raised in California, she has always had a natural affinity with the ocean, and protecting these ecosystems was her entry into the climate space as she plugged into the Surfrider Foundation. She then received a post-grad certificate at UCLA in Sustainability, which kicked her climate activism into high gear. She dedicates her social channels to educating others on the climate + global waste crisis, while sharing inspiring sustainable steps we can do to harness our power, take action, and demand change. She is a Cotopaxi “Do Good” ambassador, and has been featured on BuzzFeed, the NY Times, and several podcasts.
