Small Act of Green Rebellion: Find your green community. Jordana Vasquez is an architect turned sustainability and energy consultant. Following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, Jordana decided to use her skills to help protect vulnerable communities with sustainable building practices. Around the same time, Jordana met her co-founder, Chante Harris, at an event where the two were the only BIPOC women in attendance. What sprang from their chance meeting was an organization, the Women of Color Collective in Sustainability (WOCCS), that helps to connect women of color in the sustainability space. Jordana has also been featured on the United Nations' blog and a Coordinator for the Global Youth Leadership Institute.  -- Season 3 of Trash Talking with Eco-Warriors is sponsored by Plaine Products.
