00:00From innovative designers to visionary artists and activists,
00:03these influencers are redefining what it means to create with the planet in mind.
00:08The Sorry Girls is a digital media brand that centers on lifestyle, design, education,
00:13sustainability, and self-empowerment, all through a DIY or do-it-yourself approach.
00:18With their journey starting over a decade ago in 2010, the Sorry Girls founders,
00:23Becky Wright and Kelsey MacDermade, had one thing in mind, sustainability.
00:27Through their wide array of DIY tutorials on everything from Halloween costumes to home decor,
00:33Wright and MacDermade are not just advocating for sustainability,
00:36but educating their audience on how to work less waste into their lives.
00:40Trash Colin is a creator who gained an audience through his larger-than-life
00:44enthusiasm for his passion, picking up trash on the beach.
00:47The pressure we can put on ourselves to live an eco-conscious life can be immense,
00:51and Colin helps remind his followers that even smaller steps towards a cleaner Earth
00:55can make a big difference.
00:57The Garbage Queen, aka Elena Wood, is a TikToker who uses her platform to educate
01:02followers on how policy affects pollution, including the Chevron Deference.
01:06The Chevron Deference was overruled by the Supreme Court in late June,
01:10a decision that's alarming many climate activists,
01:13as the precedent has been a major player in getting laws regarding carbon emissions
01:17and healthcare passed.
01:18In a recent TikTok, Wood explained the Chevron defense and how it could affect
01:22the EPA's ability to enforce climate regulations.
01:25Chevron Deference is a 1984 Supreme Court decision that granted federal
01:28agencies the power to create and implement rules without constantly going to court over them.
01:32That's why it's imperative we elect congressmen who will side with science
01:36instead of business interests, appoint judges who will do the same,
01:39and pass specific laws that make the regulatory interpretation of it
01:42so clear that judges have no choice but to side with experts at federal agencies.
01:46The Garbage Queen reminds her followers that living an eco-conscious life
01:49is not just about action, but also education.
01:53These influencers, from the sorry girls to Trash Colin to the Garbage Queen,
01:57are not just creators, they are educators and advocates for a more sustainable world.
02:02By blending creativity with purpose, they are showing that each of their
02:05followers has the power to make a positive impact on the planet,
02:08no matter how small their actions may seem.
02:11Every step towards a greener future is a step worth taking.
