The world is
currently going through an energy crisis as we use more unsustainable energy
sources, such as coal, oil, and gas. This is strongly contributing to global
warming as our earth is put into a positive feedback loop of increasing the
overall temperature every day. For this reason, we need people studying the
climate, analyzing the contributing factors to global warming, and developing
efficient and renewable energy resources, like wind and solar powers. My major
in college is Environmental Earth Science with a concentration in Climate
Change Studies. My goal is to work somewhere in this field of study because I
have a strong passion to return our planet to a more healthy state. Also, I
want future generations to not have to suffer for our mistakes. After my
undergraduate degree I plan to get my master’s/PhD in a more specified area of
study and work towards bettering our planet from the catastrophe it is facing
now.
