Michael Shannon
Student in Plymouth, NH
My name is Michael Shannon or MJ, for short. I go to Plymouth State University majoring in meteorology. I have been a vegetarian for two years and have really let my diet shape who I am as a person. My sole reason for being a vegetarian is to help combat the pollution caused by animal agriculture. In High School, I created an environmental club that cleaned beaches, worked to recycle throughout the school system and we also planted a garden to add a little more plant life in the world.
I recently began blogging for one of my classes and I truly enjoy writing posts. My blog focuses on the most pressing environmental issues in today's world. I have covered topics about plastic, melting glaciers, coral bleaching, and hurricanes. Please give it a read if you are interested in saving our planet or if you just want to be informed of what is happening on our planet.
