Changing the World Right Where You Are: Meet Karly Aldridge, Sustainability Star of the Year

Karly Aldridge wants you to know that you can make a difference wherever you are, no matter your skill set, and despite your imperfections.

It’s up to you to not be defined by your not-so-glorious moment or by what other people think,” Aldridge says. “I learned the most when I jumped into something and got a little beat up on the way to the finish line.”
