School is going very well. I’m in my third year at Smith now and am an environmental science major, so I’m preparing to research and write a senior thesis next year about the environmental and social impacts of factory farming in the US. I also live in a vegetarian/vegan food co-op on Smith’s campus and we cook entirely-vegan dinners every night of the week. This summer I did a research internship at North Carolina State University and researched some of the environmental impacts of animal farming (ie, how manure impacts groundwater quality). I am still so grateful for my time with The Vegetarian Resource Group and the scholarship I got from the VRG as well! Hopefully my pursuits are of some interest to you.
