The world's population is over 7 billion and each and every one of us has a unique story. Over one decade and nine years ago I was born in the state of Punjab in India. I moved to America shortly after when I was three years old. For those that get all their information from Slumdog Millionaire let me assure you that the environments of these two countries is quite vast but not exactly in the ways you may think. After moving to America I moved about 13-15 times till where I am today and in these periods of residence I was able to travel all throughout California and lived in places ranging from Berkeley to Long Beach.
My major is economics and I love studying about politics, how money is transferred, and the correlation between money and major events. I intend to have a career in finance and eventually retire at age 30, though I highly doubt that is going to happen.
So going along with my major some of my hobbies including trading stocks which so far have been a little nice to me and have driven me crazy. I also love travelling. As part of the Model United Nations team on campus I was able to go to Chicago, South Korea, and hopefully in a few months New York. Aside from my travels to India I have been fortunate enough to make small stops in places such as London, Tokyo, and Dubai. The diversity in South California is very diverse and for the past few Sundays I have tried to keep myself busy exploring the diversity of different cities with my friends. I am also open to trying new activities, for example I hope to go skydiving in the summer.
My interest in Environmental Science started in the sixth grade when we were first introduced to this topic. In Model United Nations many of the topics I had to research were related to political solution to the environment and why we always fail to make significant progress in mending our ways. So for this reason and many others I decided to educate myself even further on our local and international environment.
The question I would most like to explore in this class is, if the world were to suddenly become clean would we be able to make a substantial positive impact on our environment?
Currently if everyone on planet Earth lived like me then we would need 4.3 Planet Earths to provide enough resources. The biggest part of my impact is Services which accounts for 46% of my total ecological footprint. The only major change I could make to my lifestyle is to purchase products that used less packaging or were made out of 100% post-consumer recycled content material.
