Of all the NYS Envirothon elements, which do you find most challenging and why?
Forestry—it’s difficult to know all the species.
How does this compare to the county-level competition?
It’s a lot more challenging, and there’s a lot more to do.
What do you like best about competing on a college campus?
Getting away completely; this place is completely different than the city.
What are your plans next year?
I’ll continue to remain on the team. I plan on going to college after graduation, but I haven’t decided on a major.
In your view, what is the most important environmental issue faced by our country, and what can your generation do about it?
Over population is causing us to use all our resources. We need to try to limit the number of children each family has.
