For Rio Grande City teen Alma Pena, every day is Earth Day – and she celebrated the holiday by stepping up in her community.
Pena, 14, is an 8th grade student at Academy and Veterans Middle School in Rio Grande City who is known for her initiative in recycling efforts, making everything around her a better place and speaking up.
She created Starr Project Recycling – an initiative to promote recycling in the school district. I realized how much plastic we were throwing away every day just in my house hold, Pena said.
