Empowering Communities for Environmental Action

In spring 2024, I conducted lobbying work for Bishop Hill, Illinois, a town of a little over 100 people. Given a budget from the State of Illinois for only $40,000 per year, the town could barely repave roads, let alone think about sustainability.

After conducting research amongst 250 other small towns in the state, I learned that none of them could prioritize environmental solutions.

This inspired me to create a free e-book to help local communities fund solutions to create more sustainable towns without sacrificing their bank account. Let's move your community ahead instead of letting it fall behind.

My Story

Who am I?

I am Kate Wexell, a native of Shiloh, Illinois, a 15,000-person suburb outside St. Louis. Growing up, many of my family members lived in towns of less than 1,000 and worked in agriculture.

I earned my bachelor's in public administration and policy and have worked for eight environmental non-profits, handling tasks ranging from fundraising to education to renewable energy policy to local journalism.

From 2021 to 2024, I ran an environmental education non-profit called The Compass Online, which reached 20K+ people from 75+ countries and received recognition from the Jane Goodall Institute, Clinton Foundation, and G20 India.
