Lauren Bash aka @ReLauren (she/her) is a climate optimist, activist, and storyteller from Los Angeles. As a born & raised Angeleno, she has always had a deep love for the ocean, which led her to become Chair of the Surfrider Foundation LA chapter, and receive a certificate in Sustainability from UCLA.
Lauren now uses her social channels to educate others on the climate and global waste crises, as well as inspire solutions to combat them. Her channels offer a mix of silliness and sustainability, featuring skits, recipes, and educational content centered around the principles of climate action, connection, and community.
She has worked with countless brands with clear climate commitments including REI, Mini Cooper, Allbirds, and Toms of Maine, as well as several environmental organizations like the Sierra Club, Save Our Water, and World Surf League Pure. Lauren is a Cotopaxi "Do Good" Ambassador alumni, has been named a Harvard C-Change "Climate Creator to Watch,” and has been featured on BuzzFeed, The New York Times, and several podcasts.
