This Spring Break, I co-led the Alternative Break that
focuses on environmental conservation in the
Chesapeake Bay. Every morning I got up to unzip my
tent, which sat right on the beach of the Philip Merrill
Environmental Center, to this view of the beautiful
Chesapeake Bay. Living next to the bay for a week,
doing service every day that will restore water quality,
and just listening to it breath in and out, inspired me even more to fight not only for this essential
watershed, but for every piece of nature that will be affected by climate change.
