Let’s make it last!

My story is slightly different from most internship adventures. As an Engineering student from California, my knowledge of sustainability and conservation was limited. I knew that plastic bags were a bad thing and being vegan would help reduce CO2 emission, but apart from that I didn’t really bother looking into the topic - right until I came to Singapore. See, my industry of choice was Engineering, but I was also open to Environmental as well. Meiji advised me to go for Environmental because it would allow for more diverse company options. In the end, I was placed with an Environmental Resource Solution company in the research department. Working there has broadened my perspective of conservation, allowing me to recognise the importance of sustainable resource management. When I get back home, I will do all it takes to adjust my studies to match my new goal: Making this beautiful planet last a bit longer. I could not have asked for a better, more life-changing experience. Thank you Meiji for placing me with my company in Asia’s most sustainable city!
