Emma Takes On Earth Day

This week, we’d like to introduce you to one of our interns here at the Indy! Meet Emma Eckert, one of the writers in this week’s Earth Day issue. She’s been able to cover courts and crime, business, and transportation for us — and this week, she branches out even further to report on green energy in Santa Barbara.

What was it like working on stories for this year's Earth Day issue?

I had a blast. I felt empowered diving into the initiatives our community has taken to ensure a more sustainable future. With Santa Barbara being the birthplace of Earth Day, writing these stories made me feel like I was part of the history happening here.
