As a citizen of the world I hold much value in the idea of a community. The resources we use and extract are not ours alone, we share them with the rest of the world so we have a responsibility to be caring community members. This concept is what lead me to pursue Environmental Science in college, and what is leading me to take this trip. Our practices have lasting effects on the world and it is my hope that we all realize the role we play as individuals and larger communities in these effects. Through education and and collaboration I would like to help leave as much of a positive impact as I can.
