When Alicia Mathew was just a child, her efforts to rally support for reducing plastic waste were met with indifference. Fast forward to her junior year at Metea Valley High School, Mathew is no longer standing alone in her quest for environmental sustainability. This time, she’s joined by a dynamic group of approximately 60 students, all driven by a shared vision to combat climate change and its effects. Together, they are participating in BLAST (Building Leadership Around Sustainable Transformation), a pioneering competition orchestrated by the Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task Force’s youth division.
