About Me
Nicholas Colbrunn
- Environmental Science, Energy and Climate Major. I am one of the College of Natural Resources and Sciences Associated Student Representative at Humboldt State University where I also work for the Recycling/Environmental department. I am a transfer student that took the non-traditional route to now become a full-time student.

- Renewable Energy, mainly power generated by waves. http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/technology/hydro/wave-power/
- Composting food waste for cooking and heating fuel. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/11/20/2938021/anaerobic-digesters-food-waste/
- Portable Solar technology. http://cleantechnica.com/2013/11/04/us-marines-test-portable-solar-power-vest/
Other Fun Fact about Me
- Love snowboarding, I taught it for several years but injured my self to much and decided to go to school and get a degree and leave the snowboarding limited seasons.
