Thank you for existing, and be a potato!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potatoes are our mascot because they\u2019re awesome, as we aspire to be, and represent life on Earth. <strong>P<\/strong>eople <strong>o<\/strong>f <strong>t<\/strong>he <strong>A<\/strong>nn Arbor <strong>T<\/strong>rees-and-Trash <strong>O<\/strong>peration (POTATO) Squad strives to inspire evryone to work together for a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet our two Core Potatoes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WhateverPotato: <\/strong>Hello! I\u2019m Maya (she\/they) (aka WhateverPotato \u2602\ufe0f). I\u2019m a bookish fiend\ud83d\udcd6 who enjoys cooking\ud83c\udf82\ud83d\udd2a, dancing\ud83e\ude70, activism\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08, nature\ud83c\udf33, organizing stuff into categories\ud83c\udf71, hanging out with friends \ud83e\udd38\u200d\u2640\ufe0fand screaming musicals with my sister \ud83c\udfad (DivergentPotato \ud83d\udd25).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MastermindPotato: <\/strong>Hello! I\u2019m MastermindPotato \ud83d\udc09 (she\/her), a human who lives on Earth and wants to repay our debt to it! I\u2019m a bookworm and a writer, and am usually the source of the pretentious words in our newsletters. In addition to environmentalism, I want to be an activist for social justice, in particular animal rights. I think social justice is a vital component of environmental justice, and to save our world we need to care for each other as well. That\u2019s why I hope Potato Squad will help us all to work together for a better future in all aspects of life. It\u2019s nice to meet you, Potatoes!! \ud83e\udd54\ud83d\udc96<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet our three founding Potatoes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DivergentPotato: <\/strong>Hi! I\u2019m DivergentPotato \ud83d\udd25 (she\/her), a human (or at least, I think I\u2019m a human) who likes potatoes, reading, and hanging out with people. I also like climbing trees, cooking, and flinging shoes. Being a potato is important to me because if we\u2019re all eco-friendly, we can help save the world! I think working together with people is motivating and fun, and I hope it is for you too! \ud83d\ude0a Thank you for all your support in our mission to make the world more eco-friendly! \ud83c\udf31<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CloudyPotato: <\/strong>Hello, I\u2019m CloudyPotato \u26c5\ufe0f (she\/her), a human who enjoys being a Potato. My hobbies are playing viola, singing, and reading, and I enjoy learning about business and personal finances. I want to start a blog that will explore how to be more eco-friendly in your everyday life, and how helping the environment benefits us all. I think this movement is important because the Earth is something we all share and is the source of all of our life, and I hope we can inspire others to care for our planet and create a better world!
