Hello All. I will begin my sustainability journey with my introduction, since for the CSSC and myself this is the first ever blog, and for many of you, it is your first steps toward becoming a sustainability guru. My name is Danielle and I am an intern with the California Student Sustainability Coalition. I am Crystal Durham's (the executive director) right hand woman. I began, like many of you guys, completely uneducated about sustainability and with no clue as to what CSSC stood for, let alone the awesome accomplishments of the coalitions participants.
