    In the United States, many people are able to worry about eating organic foods. We are able to worry about renewable energy and recycling. For others throughout the world, this is not the reality. People in developing countries rarely have the privilege to care about the environment. Caring about the environment should not be a privilege. While pursuing my degree in Environmental Engineering, I aim to work towards solutions that can be implemented throughout the entire world. Attacking this issue in a smaller community would be the first step. Cutting down on costs for environmental solutions will make it easier for all families to play their part. My field will allow me to discover new options on how to make this possible. I have always been passionate about the environment and I have seen that community efforts have the most effect. New, expensive inventions will not be what saves the Earth. It will be communities of people from all over the world collaborating for a brighter future, a future that I plan to have a hand in improving.
