Answer preview
While pursuing my undergraduate program, I visited different communities while advocating for environmental sustainability. This exposed me to communities experiencing major health threats because of air pollution from polluting factories. Many plants closed business because of failing to comply with the Clean Air Act. Others risked their operation licenses due to poor waste management and damaging land and water bodies. Therefore, my passion for transforming such settings based on the real-world experience from the internship will add value to the measures taken to improve healthy living. Generally, my skills in effective communication, critical thinking, analyzing community problems, and developing evaluation programs for the implemented interventions will add value when identifying sustainable environmental solutions.
