Why do you want to become a Green Passport holder?

I want to be affiliated with a program that promotes environmentally and socially responsible activities so that I can gain knowledge and so that I have an organization I can tell people about who want to also get informed.

If you consider yourself to be an environmentally and socially responsible person while at home, please explain how so (may include activities or organizations with which you are affiliated):

I am the Sustainability Director in my Residence Hall at my college, I am on the sustainability committee on my campus with faculty and staff members, I am working on a campaign on my campus called Meat-Free Monday, we are trying to inform the student body about the environmental, social and health implications of meat consumption. I volunteer a the community garden on my campus and at the habitat restoration site on my campus.
