Sam Bencheghib '19 is ready to raise awareness, one mile at a time. He's spending his summer running from New York to Los Angeles to raise awareness about plastics polluting our waterways. The Ocean 2 Ocean project comes from Make a Change World, a sustainability solution oriented media platform co-founded by Sam and his brother, Gary Bencheghib. Last year, Sam was the Baker Institute's nominee and winner of the Davis Projects for Peace, where he won $10,000 to combat plastics polluting.
Check out the great coverage he's received so far, and follow @sambencheghib and @makeachangeworld to keep track of his journey beginning in June!
