About Myself I am an Environmental Science Major I got involved with my major because I am part Native American, and I have enjoyed nature my whole life I love to go swimming, going for walks, mushroom picking and I have a house up in the country Recently joined the Arborteum Advocates

Water Sampling Equipment

Carbon Fixation

Electromagnetic Energy

Climate Change Increased levels of Carbon Dioxide into our atmosphere which also increases the temperature Ocean is becoming more acidic, so in other the pH is lowered Many species are becoming endangered Trees are being cut down that release carbon into our atmosphere

Habitat destruction Sad face 

Invasive Species Vine from Asia invading North America

Killing of Animals Rhinos are very territorial creatures
