β€œAt ΒιΆΉΤ­΄΄, we are shown how living sustainably is a form of actively loving our planet. Cultivating a healthy connection with the Earth is not only important, it also leads to better personal well-being. I believe that it's honestly the bare minimum to focus on the environment in my collegiate pursuit because I value being here – on this planet.”
