I will be engaging in a variety of course work towards my 3 bachelor's degrees while in Copenhagen. Additionally I will be volunteering for a development organization in Copenhagen.

Why do you want to become a Green Passport holder?

Simply to solidify and to substantiate my prior and continued commitment to what the pledge has lined out.

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 unplug all charging devices when not being used, I am sure to turn off all lights if I plan on being gone for a extended period throughout the day. I reduce AC output while out of the house. One of the reasons I chose to study abroad, and in doing so, chose a city with a sustainable and environmentally friendly public transportation system, was so that I could become independent of my car back home.
