Chidinma is passionate about education. She loves watching the smile on her student's faces as they grasp something new. She started teaching children while in Secondary school. This was one of the reasons why she became involved with the Green Teach Project. She and others who worked together want to present students with the opportunity to make their career choice in sustainability.

Learning about sustainability was eye-opening. Working on some drafts, she saw the need for the project. After conducting comprehensive research, she discovered that few training and seminars are organized for students that discuss career paths in sustainability in some parts of Africa and Nigeria. The vision of ESDI Group made her envision getting this project to all countries in Africa. She wants students to learn that apart from the usual career paths, there are other choices available for them.

Susan Herre is the current president of the Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS), a nonprofit environmental advocacy organization. Since 1971, through education, advocacy, and litigation, ECOS has worked for a sustainable Sacramento region. We are for transit and transit-oriented development and against sprawl; for protection of open space, clean air, and water; and now, with climate change, for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon neutrality.

Before ECOS, she was a Community Planner with the U.S. Dept of Transportation on transit and rail capital projects across the country. She was then and am still motivated by the notion that cities are better – more affordable, easier to get around, more social, equitable, economically vibrant, and sustainable -- if they have a good transit network, a network dense enough to allow one to get around without a car. Washington D.C. has such a network, and a number of cities like Los Angeles, Denver, SF-Oakland-SJ, and Seattle, are developing their own.
