Biography: Gabriela Almeida Monteiro
Gabriela Almeida Monteiro, from Brazil, was elected to the Tunza Youth Advisory Council of UNEP on 30 August 2007. She is a member of AIESEC, an International Student Association. She works in Salvador, Brazil, and has taken part in the Earth Charter Youth Initiative. She intends to initiate a project within AIESEC in order to raise environmental awareness among poor communities in her city and introduce the values and principles of the Earth Charter.
In March 2007, Gabriela organized and participated in the Freshmen’s Day in her university to raise the awareness about environmental issues with new students. The activity was to collect rubbish on the beach and inform the residents about the importance of keeping a clean environment.
She wants to develop a project that intends to replace the plastic bags with reusable bags in the supermarkets of her city. The reusable bags will be produced by tailors in poor communities and, thus, she intends to create jobs and raise the income of poor families.
Gabriela was born on 7 September 1985. She likes swimming, watching movies and being with her family/friends.
