The human does not always take into consideration other people’s feelings, emotions, wants and desires. This selfish part of us can …

I'm a physics major and Environmental Analysis minor from New Orleans. I've been very concerned about climate change ever since Katrina.

New Yorkers were surprisingly receptive to my message. Weather permitting, I plan to repeat this walk once a week for the foreseeable future. I …
