Twin nineteen year olds, Jessica and Diana VaVerka, are the go-to girls when it comes to knowing what we all could do to help out the planet.
The two Fresno City students both aspire to study Environmental Sciences, and to receive PhD’s in Neuroscience.
“I know everyone carries the potential to have a career to that could better society, but in the end materialism gets in the way. All it takes is to re open your eyes and understand that you can make a difference” said Jessica. 
 Both girls use their bikes for transportation to get to school even though they each own a car.
They encourage other FCC students to do the same. “I ride my bike to school everyday!” said Diana emphasizing her day to day routine. “It keeps up my health, and I don’t make any pollutants.” Making use of your bike is one way FCC student’s can make a difference.
When asked other ways in which FCC could help Jessica responded, “The school needs to do more to support the cause. There should be a lot more recycle bins around other than the card board ones you see once in awhile.
“The cafeteria needs to use more recyclable materials, because all of the paper and plastic is not reusable,” she added. 
The girls say that their whole lives they have felt that they should do something to help. “Ever since we were little we have always collected our bottles and cans from around the house with our parents” says Jessica.
Through the years their hobby of trying to save the earth has grown  their passion. “In Environmental Sciences we can both make a difference, not only for us but for the benefit of society” says Diana. The girls are in a club called Peace Fresno, in which they try to promote peace and love across Fresno.
The twins don’t just focus on environmental issues, they believe strongly in helping out one another. “We always pass out water to people on the side of the road and have passed
out blankets to homeless people in tower, ” said Jessica. “Taking care of each other is just as important as taking care of the earth. We just all have to multitask a little bit better than we already do. We can’t allow our brothers and sisters that are on the streets to go hungry, and at the same time we have to protect earth.”
