Pomona College Springer Fyrberg is currently in her senior year as an evironmental science major at Pomona College. She is spending this semester in Australia in hopes of learning the techniques she will need to use as a conservation biologist in Hawaii, where she grew up. She plans to work in Hawaii's forests attempting to control invasive plant and animal species in order to preserve the native species. Springer enjoys sports and spends much of her free time hiking, surfing, and body-boarding. She is also very concerned about the future for today's youth, and volunteers her time as a tutor and mentor at several youth organizations, and has spent several summers working as a camp counselor. In the past, Springer has tried to do her part for the environment by joining her high school environmental club, writing to Congress, and organizing campus recycling, beach clean-ups, and tree planting. She beleives the most important thing you can do for the environment is to live simply, educate yourself, and tell others about how much a healthy earth means to you. |
