Profile Information
- What brings you to the green product design network?
- I have always been passionate about environmentalism, and am interested in new ways to live sustainably. I am going to be entering the University of Oreogn in the fall as a freshman in the Clark Honors College. I am planning on majoring in Business Administration and Philosophy.
- What kinds of expertise can you bring to the community?
- In my junior year of high school, I became a founding member of my school’s first sustainability committee. We worked to identify and implement sustainable practices throughout the school. I personally led several initiatives such as a project to install dual-flush handles in school bathrooms to reduce water waste. I also began a composting system on campus to utilize student snack waste (fruit peels, tea bags, etc.) as well as cafeteria food waste to help feed the various gardens across the campus.
