"Good afternoon.

It's an honor to be here.

My name is Chiena Ty.

I'm a 2019 UC Riverside graduate.

I majored in sustainability studies and grew interested in community-led climate advocacy.

I currently serve as an AmeriCorps member and a California Climate Action Corps fellow at White Pony Express, an organization that is committed to aiding those in need.

We help combat climate change and fight food insecurity by diverting fresh, healthy foods from landfills and redistributing them to underserved communities.

In other words, we're rescuing surplus food and giving it to the people most in need.

Our work also has another important benefit.

When we reduce the edible surplus food from ending up in landfills, we are also reducing methane, a harmful pollutant that is a major driver in the climate crisis." Chiena Ty, White Pony Express
