Welcome to Kristen's Coral Reef!

Dead fish due to oil pollution, toxic materials, runoff and more.

Hello everyone!  My name is Kristen and I am a sophomore at the University of Minnesota Duluth.  I would like to welcome you to my coral reef.  This blog was created for my Environmental Health class and will be updated weekly.  I chose to make mine a coral reef because they are beautiful to look at, but we are also on the verge of losing them because of our actions.  For this class, we will be posting different assignments and commenting on our group members' posts as well.  I hope to gain a better understanding of my immediate environment, as well as the earth as an environment, and how I impact the environment every day.  This blog will be a great tool to do so as we learn from each other.  

There are 6 possible types of posts on my blog.  They include:

1. Advocacy Project
2. Eye Openers
3. Reflections
4. Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change
5. Read 'n' Seed
6. Share and Voice

If you notice at the bottom of this post, the categories will be listed as labels.  This post has been labeled with all six kinds of posts.  You will also see the number of each kind of post in my Labels Gadget at the top of the page.  All post titles from now on will begin with one of the categories above.  

The members of my web group are:

1. Samantha@Samantha Green with Envi
2. Adam@Adam's Outdoor Connection
3. Alyssa@Treeific Time with Alyssa
4. Emily@Eco-quest with Emily
5. Katie@Through Green Eyes with Katie
6. Carly@Go Blue Too with Carly
