A few years ago, I developed a deep interest in penguins, and the more I learned about these flightless seabirds, the more I realized how close they, and their ecosystem, are to devastation. I saw how overfishing, climate change, and even deforestation was negatively affecting these birds. I felt as though I HAD to do something about it. But really, what could I do? I joined clubs like the Recycling club and the Bio Science club at my high school, and through that, I was able to participate in activities such as the "Riverbed Cleanup", where we spent the day in the riverbed picking up trash and other things that didn't belong (such as an old refrigerator and even a car). I've also resorted to only accepting rides when absolutely necessary. I'll just walk or ride my banana board across town, sometimes up to 6 miles a day. But I still feel like I'm not doing nearly enough; and that's how I found Greenpeace. They've allowed me to do more, such as write this short autobiography. Hopefully my story can inspire others to help out.
