Why do you want to become a Green Passport holder?

I believe that environmental responsibility is especially important as an American traveling in Latin America, due to the existing stigma surrounding America's destructive legacy there.

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 lead the Green Amherst Project -- Amherst College's environmental group -- and generally lead as environmentally responsible a life as possible!
