Stella Hong

Virginia, USA

Stella is an avid gardener and plant enthusiast who became empowered to advocate for environmental sustainability after witnessing the alarming effects of climate change on her garden. As the publicist for her school’s environmental club, Stella frequently engages students in composting initiatives, stream cleanups, and native plant projects to promote sustainability within her school community. She also founded the Vienna Vegetable Exchange, a co-op that exchanges surplus vegetables from gardens in Vienna to avoid food waste. In her free time, she loves to run track and cross-country, garden, and read. Stella is excited to help contribute to Bow Seat’s mission of environmental advocacy and work with passionate environmentalists from around the world!
