“When I was 16, I had a green job internship with a civil and architecture firm. I worked with the engineer and the architect to make sure that construction sites were meeting environmental standards. My work made me feel great. The problem was I had to help support my family financially and that internship didn’t pay enough. Since I made so little I had to find a job that would pay me more. Which led me to a job that I could get at the age of 16 – a factory job in an unhealthy work environment.” - Claira Le, Young Leaders in the Green Movement Committee Member
