EcoVP in the Eyes of the Interns
The EcoVoice Project festival was just as new to Rowan, and I, as it was to everyone who attended. Taking in the beautiful performances, gorgeous locales, and thought-provoking activities, we were inspired to renew our love for nature and local environments. Our individual experiences were slightly different but we both agree that while the festivities were memorable we also regained a new outlook on environmental advocacy and how it can be accomplished. And while not perfect this approach to environmentalism was proven successful by how many individuals were interested in continuing the conversation.
Engaging in these events not only helped us regain our hopes of protecting the environment but also allowed us to have conversations and connections with individuals in environmental fields as well those in other fields which we will continue and hold for years to come. These experiences will help us grow both personally and professionally, as we make our own strides to advocate for the environment.
There is still so much more to do, and much to learn, but we believe that with the help of movements like this one more people will begin to see the importance of environmentalism and act on climate change issues.
