This pandemic has been so difficult, especially for those who suffered loss. During her fully remote senior year of college, Elizabeth Sockwell began to feel quite hopeless. Instead of dwelling on her sorrows, Elizabeth channeled her energy into something positive, what she called the 4C Tree Project. The 4 C's stand for "Capture Carbon, Commemorate COVID," and this is exactly what Elizabeth strived to do. She worked with her community leaders and fellow student activists to plant trees as living memorials to honor lives lost to COVID-19.
