What if cutting up a six-pack ring or planting a milkweed could actually change the world?

In this episode of the Visual Eyes Podcast, host Chris Baker sits down with Noelia Suarez, Executive Director of Heal The Planet, to explore how small, daily decisions can spark global environmental change. From her early days as a mentor and international volunteer to launching a sustainable store and teaching mindfulness in Title I schools, Noelia has spent her life turning eco-conscious values into action.

You’ll learn how Heal The Planet delivers environmental education through their SEED Program, engages kids with biodiversity lessons (yes, even ladybugs!), and fosters leadership through sustainability. Noelia also shares the nonprofit’s challenges post-COVID, their creative solutions—including digitizing feedback—and why legacy is about empowering youth, not just stats and data.

Whether you're a nonprofit leader, educator, policymaker, or eco-curious listener, this conversation will inspire you to lead with intention and recognize the power of one person, one act, one ripple.

🔑 Topics Covered:

The link between personal lifestyle and nonprofit leadership
The truth about plastic pollution and ocean waste
Why biodiversity education matters more than ever
How empowering youth creates a sustainable legacy
The role of community collaboration in lasting impact

🎧 Listen in and be inspired to take the next small step—because change starts with you.
