avery bingham

Hello my name is Avery and I am a second year Environmental Studies major! I was influenced to pursue this study path because from a very young age I was taught the importance of respecting the environment and everything that pertains to it. Therefore I wanted to be a part of creating solutions against Climate Change which is directly impacting our environment. These reasons are similar to why I joined ESLP, and to educate and create accessible resources for students to learn about sustainable ways to protect our environment. I also wanted a way to connect with students who have a similar passion. Some of my hobbies include hiking, skiing, cooking, spending time with loved ones, soccer, and reading!
