Chauncey is an environmental justice leader, activist and educator. In his role as Director of we.grow.eco, he and his team facilitate events designed to alter the habits in action and thought that perpetuate an unhealthy, unbalanced, unsustainable relationship with our environment. From teaching workshops transforming textile waste to paper and journal making to monthly Abstract Picnic art nights in Santa Fe, Chauncey is a resourceful and creative leader. For its first project, We Walk, Chauncey walked across the country from Virginia Beach to San Francisco. Along the way, he coordinated community clean-up events in dozens of cities in collaboration with local organizations, conducted food walks making burritos and delivering them to hungry folks and those experiencing houselessness, organized arts and sustainability festivals, and engaged in conversations—seeking mutual understanding and on-the-ground exposure to the challenges the nation is facing.
