I am a tree hugger
When people ask me what I am going to do with an Environmental Science, Policy & Management degree, they assume I will count fish for the DNR or something like that. Not quite. I want to save the earth from global warming. I am not quite sure how I will do that yet, but I am on my way. Right now I am focusing on environmental education/communication. I don't want to teach in a K-12 setting, but more in a community-based way. Like most college students, however, I am still trying to figure out exactly how I will go about doing that.
Some of my other hobbies are sewing, making jewelry, and other forms of crafting. I am also proud of my bicycle, however, I am not hard-core enough to ride it through the snow. Since moving to Minneapolis, I have gotten into the local music scene, and some of my favorite bands are Best Friends Forever
and Dance Band.
All in all, I am excited for this class. I'm looking forward to some good literature and good discussions.

Tree Hugger... Now that is a term I am familiar with. Not only am I often sterotyped as one, but my parents both classify themselves as tree huggers. Let me just say I am happy to have grown up in a household with two environmentalists. We moved onto a 12 acre lot about 10 years ago and my parents are now able to express themselves through the beautiful land! Its inspiring what you would like to do! Good luck!
What kind of jewelry do you make? It just happens to be one of my favorite things to do! My favorite are glass beads. I leave the sewing up to my sister. I would be interested in learning what kind of jewelry fits your fancy.

Good to hear there's another environmentalist in the class.
You might not be able to save the world from global warming single-handedly, but I know there are hundreds of organizations, locally and nationally, that are looking for people like you who have passion! Remember: there's power in numbers. I look forward to talking with you about tree-hugging and other such wonderful things!
