About Me
Name: Brooke Martin
- I am currently a psychology major at HSU with other interests including music and anthropology.
Interests in Technology and the Environment
- sustainable energy
- clean energy
- renewable energy
Experience in Technology and/or the Environment
Most of my experience within this field is drawn from my experience in growing up in Scotia, a company that was owned by the Pacific Lumber Company in the heart of Humboldt County.
- I was able to witness firsthand the devastation of corporate monopolies (specifically MAXXAM Inc.) on the environment. After working for PALCO, I learned of the original owner's intentions regarding the environment and their hope to never harvest old growth redwood- a promise broken by the MAXXAM corporation. My allegiances will always lie with the original philosophies of PALCO.
- I have taken part in Northern Spotted Owl surveys, and have entered data regarding their whereabouts and mating habits. This directly relates to tree harvesting practices.
- Roads built to harvest grounds deep in the woods create erosion and potential contamination of nearby streams, thus endangering many aquatic species and potential drinking water.
