Her impact goes beyond that of IESA because she proved that your age isnt
a factor in how you can affect the environment. Anyone of any age can affect the
environment. Anyone can create social and environmental change with patience
and integrity. Marjorie Douglas created social change by changing peoples mindset
and environmental change by saving the everglades from being drained.
It is my personal opinion that Marjorie
Stoneman Douglas was not only important as an
environmentalist. But also as a feminist. Showing
that women can make substantial social change.
Overall this helps make the environmentalist
movement more accessible to more people.
