Park Slope student becomes a ‘Green Girl’
Park Sloper Angelica Chery is a “Green Girl.” Even though the title sounds like she’s the heroine in a comic strip, she’s not. But she is a heroine of another sort.
Angelica, a budding environmentalist, recently took part in the “Green Girls Summer” program sponsored by the City Parks Foundation. It marked the second time she has spent a good portion of her summer vacation learning how to protect the environment. She first joined the program in 2011.
As a result of her most recent foray into environmentalism, Angelica has decided to devote her studies, and eventually her career, to protecting the environment. “Green Girls opened my eyes to look at the world with a different point of view and try my best to be a part of taking care of it,” she said.
