While in Australia I noticed there was a lower amount of pollution compared to American Cities. Not only in public places, but in the vast environment too. Seeing the Great Barrier Reef specifically, provided me with a greater motivation to spread awareness of the importance of protecting ecosystems through environmental conservation. During the twelve weeks I spent abroad, I was able to travel to multiple national parks and islands and actively learn about marine and terestrial ecosystems.
