The Green Team: Environmental Well-being

Our mission: to learn, promote, and implement ways of being environmentally conscious, through both daily choices and wider-scale societal actions.

“What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.”

I love experiencing nature in its most calm and most extreme states. In the summer, I try to hike as often as I can and take in the fresh smell of wood, leaves, and water. In the winter, I enjoy facing off against the brutal conditions of weather in the white mountains. When I’m not hiking, I’m probably learning about the natural world around me whether in or out of class. I also love spending time with those who I care about and traveling to have new experiences with them.

As part of the UNH Together initiative, I’m making sure to keep my close contacts to a minimum and spend more time with my suite-mates. I also have socially distanced walks with my parents while we wear masks around campus. For dining, I make sure to use my own reusable utensils and I clean out my plastic to-go containers to be recycled.
