To New Beginnings of Environmental Activism

Hello everyone!
       My name is Priscilla. A little tad bit of information about me:
- I love writing. I don't have any artistic, musical, or athletic talents, but I do have an intense love of writing. Most of the writing I do is personal, but I absolutely enjoy writing about environmental concerns and inspiring (or so I hope) messages.
- I am an avid Nintendo fan. Although my hectic schedule has forced me to shy away from my video game interests, I love Nintendo games. I've been playing Nintendo since as long as I could remember, and my childhood is filled with memories of Pokemon, Mario, and Kirby.
-I am extremely dedicated to academics and education. Ever since I began my academic journey, I have always found myself having a strong yearning for academic excellence. The reason regarding my commitment to education is because I believe that education is the pathway to change the world. After all, knowledge is power.
-My favorite books are The Catcher in the Rye, Fahrenheit 451, and Water for Elephants. My favorite shows are Boy Meets World, Scrubs, and Parks & Recreation. Lastly, my favorite movies are I Am, The Warriors, and A Bronx Tale.
-My goals in life are to attend a dream university of mine and to eventually start my own nonprofit.

       Now, considering this blog isn't about me, I shall stop here and proceed to talk about what's truly important: the purpose and meaning of this blog.

            I believe that one of the most important issues that our Earth is plagued by is its destruction as a result of human impact. It is devastating to know that our only home, the only planet that we know of that is capable of sustaining life, and is full of life in so many complex ways, is being destroyed every second. Not only that, but the majority of the population unknowingly contributes to our Earth's deterioration. What we are doing is unsustainable, and not to mention, is soon to become irreversible. We must ensure that we not only save our Earth for the sake of our future generations, but to ensure that all of the other species we share this Earth with can remain.
           I have created this blog in hopes of spreading environmental awareness and informing people of anything environmental related. I hope that people will not only become knowledgable about environmental issues, but will have determination in participating in environmental efforts. I have researched several topics and since compiled them into condensed papers that are easy to follow for those who are unfamiliar. Each research paper, although subtly varying in its structure and organization, provides information about the definition of the environmental concern, its causes, and effects on the environment, human health, and/or animal health. In addition to research papers, I have written tips and solutions for each concern. Some other features you can expect to find on this blog include additional environmental resources, highlighted news, and information about Lincoln for Environmental Activism, a club I started with a friend of mine at my school.
         This blog is a work in progress, especially considering the fact that I have absolutely zero experience with blogs. But, I hope that you find this blog enjoyable, informative, and useful.

-Priscilla xx
