Abstract

I propose moving to Costa Rica for the entirety of Spring 2014 and possibly Summer 2014 semesters in order to accomplish the following goals:

1. Learn to live more sustainably by moving outside of my country into one in which a culture of sustainability inherently exists.
2. Investigate what obstacles impede, and what drives people toward more sustainable behaviors.
3. Work or volunteer with a humanitarian organization focused on the social equity aspect of maintaining ecological balance.
4. Challenge myself personally to do three things:

a. Learn to speak Spanish.
b. Work with impoverished peoples.
c. Live in a foreign country.
