Vianey Olivarría doesn’t think of herself as outdoorsy. She’ll camp now and then, but only if there are showers nearby. She loves a breezy stroll along a promenade but doesn’t mess around with hiking Camelback. And she’s too much of a foodie to consider dehydrated meals. For a long time, these were some of the reasons she couldn’t picture herself in the environmental movement. Then she started to notice how climate change complicates every social problem she deeply cares about.
