Good morning! To kick off our #HerPlanet 🌎 series, today we are hosting an Instagram takeover with a #RiodeJaneiro based environmental activist. Natalia, 21, is an environmental studies student at UniRio, and a volunteer at @greenpeacebrasil specializing in water activism and the #NovaVidaSolar solar panel installation project. Today she will take us along to a homeless shelter just outside of Rio, where she and other volunteers will be teaching youth about sustainability and how to install solar panels at their facility. Follow along and let us know if you have any questions for Natalia! (at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

In their communities, Brazilian women are key in combatting Zika, fighting for access to water and cleaning up in advance of the upcoming Olympics. Next week, our Across Women’s Lives team is headed there to meet environmental activists and scientists.

Their series, Her Planet, will premiere on February 22.

Get excited.
