Undergraduate / Common Application- Favorite Activity (I participated in Green Team) [8]
Please elaborate on one of your activites (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience) (150 words or fewer)
A few years ago I believed I was environmentally conscious. I kept my showers under fifteen minutes to conserve water. I recycled milk cartons if I saw the recycle sign printed on the side of the container on the way to the trash. Last summer I participated in Green Team and I realized my prior efforts to help fell short. During the program I cleared brush-covered trails and dug out invasive bittersweet plants. Also, I had the opportunity to listen to speakers lecture about heating using wood chips and the environmental benefits of eating organically. Working with plants on a daily basis and interacting with individuals dedicated to making the planet healthier, I changed my habits. I take shorter showers, recycle used leaves of paper and I am eager to join an organization that performs services to benefit the plant.
