“Renewable energy is important to me because it’s recently something that I learned about. Until I came to college, renewable energy was not something I really learned about. I want more people to learn about renewable energy and how it will help us sustain our growing population on a changing planet. If we do not make a change to renewable energy, there will not be much of a future. Burning coal and fossil fuels are really bad for our environment and renewable energy is a great alternative.”

Cat Smith is a freshman at the University of Florida hailing from Cape Coral, Florida. She started as a psychology major but has transitioned to nursing hoping to help the greater good. In high school, she volunteered for a children’s hospital and her mom worked in healthcare, so she’s always wanted to help others.
