After joining the Mawah Environmental Commission, Karin La Greca received a letter from Eric J. Fuchs-Stengel, a local high school student who wanted to do a litter clean-up. Wanting to encourage his motivation, she helped him organize the first of what would turn out to be over 200 clean-ups that have removed tons of trash from the community over the past 14 years.
Not satisfied with simply removing trash, they went on to start Fresh Roots Farm, a regenerative farm based on permaculture principles that has fed and educated hundreds of people.
14 years later, MEVO, The Mawah Environmental Volunteer Organization, which is now headed by Violet Reed stands as a shining example of what a single action can take on a life of its own to help shape a world that works.
