Robyn Fischer
Robyn grew up in Los Angeles and was never really inspired to visit the great outdoors—she used to tell everyone she was allergic to fresh air. It wasn’t until moving to Northern California for college that she truly began to appreciate nature. While in school, she fell in love with water issues: it was eerily fascinating that there can be alternative forms of energy, but there is no substitute for water. From the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, from the Puget Sound to the Chesapeake Bay, she believes there is no water that doesn’t deserve to be protected.
