“The UEE program made me focus on systems … natural and
built environments and how they interact and overlap with
each out … communities, schools, work, trees, plants. When
I see a problem, I no longer see it in isolation, I think about
the systems that may have created the problem and what
systems will have to be considered in finding a solution.”

LENNY EMPERADO HAYNES, UEE ALUMNUS, TEACHER,
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

“The UEE program provides a brave space to really lean in
and make a difference by holding the promise of bringing
front and center the stories of historically marginalized
and disenfranchised people and their ways of knowing the
earth. Having those stories and voices daylighted gives
them the consideration that they deserve and that we need.
The work of UEE expands thebrain trust of ways of knowing
the earth and respecting multiple voices.”

BELINDA CHIN, PRACTICUM PARTNER, URBAN FOOD SYSTEMS,
SEATTLE PARKS AND RECREATION

“The UEE Program helps people to not only appreciate the
spaces that they are in but also how to rectify some wrongs.
It helps us to explore how do we do good and do the least
amount of wrong as it relates to the city, the people, and the
environment.”

SARNESHEA EVANS, UEE ALUMNUS, URBAN PLANNER,
FRIENDS OF WATERFRONT SEATTLE

You can’t separate social justice from environmental justice,
they are inextricably linked. The UEE program represents
that connection, teaches it and works with communities
to better understand the connection while thinking about
solutions.”
