My name is Susan Brown and I am a senior here at Clarion University. I took this course because protecting the environment is very important to me. I feel that I do many things in my life to conserve energy, however I am sure I can do more. Not only do I want to learn what more I can do, but I want to make sure what I believe is helping actually is. I have had an internship with the Department of Environmental Protection for two years now. This has helped me to learn a lot through my experience in their various programs. I want to continue learning how to protect the environment and eventually pass my knowledge onto others.
