Hey guys! My name is Christine and I am a Senior Communications major at the University of Maryland. I have always taken a special interest in the care and wellbeing of our environment. As a high school student, I was a volunteer in the school’s environmental club and I am excited to take that knowledge and further it in my studies. I believe environmental policy is a crucial aspect in everyday life!

Hi guys!
My name is Rachel Coonan and I will be graduating in May with a degree in Communication from University of Maryland, College Park. One of my passions has always been the environment. I remember growing up and watching Al Gore express his concern for our country’s environment and feeling really worried. I’m worried that our environment will be too far damaged come 20 years. I’m excited for inform you guys on ways we can change and challenge ourselves and help our country’s environment.
Stay aware,
Rachel
About the Blog
Our blog “US Environmental Policy” is meant to be a resource that people can use to determine what congressional bills they should and should not support if they want to help the environment. Our contributors include Donnie Sengstack, Nicole Coletti, Christine Ennis, Rachel Coonan, and Sarah Lang. You can read more about them in their individual introductory posts.
Our position is that climate change is real and is a threat to the planet. We also believe humans can help to mitigate this threat. It is important that people are informed as to which congressional bills will help the environment and which will hurt the environment.
Nicole Coletti
Hi! My name is Nicole Coletti, and I’m a senior Communications and Government and Politics double major here at the University of Maryland. As a Government and Politics student, I’ve been following the policy debates over climate change, and I hope that I’ll be able to spur some policy changes or at least get people thinking about them. With the recent Paris Summit and our upcoming elections, this is a topic that we should be thinking and talking about in more detail.
Sarah Lang
Hey I’m Sarah Lang and I’m excited to talk about the outdoors and how we can be more beneficial to the environment. I’m from Florida and I travel all the time to beautiful spots like Arizona, Colorado, Maine and the Canadian Rockies. I’m interested in this topic because I want my kids and their kids to one day see places the way I saw it. The world is to precious to take advantage of all the beautiful paradises that were placed on this earth!
