Principles of Sustainability
About me
My name is Kiley, I am a freshman and I am from Swanzey New Hampshire. As of right now I am undeclared but have an interest in environmental studies. If I go through with environmental studies as a major I would want to minor in biology. I feel like those two fields would be as close as I can get being able to work with animals and the land. I enjoy the beauty of nature and the life it gives us to admire.

When I was in high school I had to take biology and my teacher was so passionate about anything science-related. I fell in love with his biology course which also heavily involved ecology. I thought ecosystems were so fascinating and really liked how everything in the chain was connected. That is kind of when I got interested in animals and the beauty of them. They affect everything and it’s so important to keep these animals around and protected for the long haul and I knew getting involved with the environmental science program could help with that. Sustainability is important to me because it affects our animal life. It affects their food chain. Animals are being removed from their homes and going extinct due to the human lifestyle and soon it will have effects on us.
