What is WeFill?WeFill's Mission: "Plastic waste, the seemingly insurmountable, worldwide dilemma, is overwhelming; but it can be approached one container at a time, one person at a time. WeFill will not be able to solve the entire problem but we are taking an active role in a solution! Our mission is to limit single-use plastic container consumerism by offering a refilling station for household products, including bath and body, kitchen, and cleaning supplies, as well as alternatives to single use plastic products. WeFill is a brick and mortar store and will not offer online sales, further reducing the packaging waste and shipping costs.
Future generations of all species are depending on us…" WeFill is a refilling station located in Durango Colorado, who promotes the reduction of single-use plastic consumption on the individual level as well as the community level. WeFill offers everything from shower essentials, face products, and plastic alternatives and has grown so much as a small brick and mortar shop! |
My Wonderful Mentor: Cristin Salaz!"As a wildlife biologist by education and profession, I have seen the effects of pollution and plastic waste for decades through travels for work and play. While instructing open-water SCUBA I encouraged ocean cleanup and pulled garbage on each dive, teaching students to take pride in caring for the reef. My decades living in the pristine mountains of Southwest Colorado have allowed me to cave, boat, ski, hike and camp, always embracing my responsibility to reduce pollution and garbage in our natural environment. We are all stewards of the land, the sea, and the air, so let’s work together and prove it!"
Cristin has been my mentor at WeFill for two years now and she has taught me so many life lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my academic, professional, and just in general life! I appreciate all that she has done and is truly an inspiration in the wake of a new climate justice revolution! I could not ask for a better mentor and can not wait to see what is next for WeFill! |
Social Media Posts!As WeFill's intern, I worked on creating content for WeFill's Instagram and Facebook. This included everything to the update posts about store closure and reopening. I also created a quiz for the Instagram story to help promote follower engagement, which has been something I have worked on in my senior project!
All answers were located on Instagram's quiz setting! But these are the graphically designed slides I created! (See Answers on the last photo!)
