California

This internship has left me with a greater appreciation for the field of communications. It’s been rewarding to learn how to write in all different styles and for different readers, too. I know that this experience will help me to be a more successful communicator in the science field.

California’s efforts to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions have earned it a reputation as a climate leader. Most of the state’s actions, however, have focused on the “demand-side” of carbon emissions: reducing energy consumption, increasing efficiency, using cleaner fuels and energy sources, and reducing vehicle miles traveled. However, as the country’s 5^th largest oil producer (recently falling from 3^rd), the state has never done enough to keep polluting fossil fuels from being produced in the first place.

Here at ReThink Disposable, we like to prove the impact of our work. We also like to get local community volunteers involved in our program.
