As an escape from the hustle and bustle of our modern society, the beauty of national/state parks are one thing I would love not to lose in the future. Unfortunately, "nature" or "the wild" are things that have been secluded into a select few areas for visiting while the rest of America has been apportioned for factories, cities, and profitable institutions. These national or state parks provide an escape to the natural world and act as a way out of the stressful and pressured social and economic world. As a place to hike, camp or simply enjoy, national and state parks are something that I would like to preserve for the future as they are arguably the closest thing to "wild" left in the United States.

Storytelling and creativity allow for messages and ideas to reach an audience in a way that simple facts never could. Through evoking emotion, reaching different ways of thinking, and showing problems, solutions and ideas in creative and clever ways allows for a wide variety of audience to be reached. In collaboration with The Creative Process I hope to aid in preserving the environment, reach new audiences in creative ways that makes them really care, and to sharpen my own skills in environmental creativity and storytelling to further protect the beauty of nature.

Recently, I have worked on a written project in which I have told the story of fossil-fuel divestment at both Rutgers University and in the entire United States. This story tells about historical movements in fossil-fuel divestment, oppositions from fossil-fuel corporations and stakeholders, and the future of corporate, government, and university stock holdings in the United States. It gives the reader insight into how the United State's institutions, states, and universities are attempting to tackle fossil-fuel corporations by withdrawing their financial investments, thus forcing a cleaner energy future.
