Recommended: Conclusion on volunteering

My interest in applying for the Masters Program in Sustainability, Society and the Environment traces back to November 2011 when I volunteered for four months in an NGO named Mountain Cleaners (Dharamsala, India).

While managing the waste collection projects and clean up hikes, I discovered that working for the environment was in fact, a natural calling that I was destined to follow. However after three years of running a travel business, my career in this industry was in full swing. Hence, following my volunteering period, when I was offered the position of Project Manager at Mountain Cleaners, it entailed a professional risk. Nevertheless, I took the leap and accepted the position.

My role here was defined by the need of the hour, with no set boundaries, but always with an undaunted mission to work towards a cleaner India. A few months after joining the team, we saw the opportunity to expand our projects to other parts of India. Further growth at Mountain Cleaners however, became increasingly difficult. Hence, I cofounded the NGO, Waste Warriors in October 2012.

  • Essay On Motivation

    1562 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout history, motivation has been one of the components to survival. Motivation is needed to get up in the morning and go on about the day in order to survive. As humans began to evolve, so did society, which meant our drive and motivation were derived from different goals rather than one common one. Rather than depending on biological drive, humans started to depend on the system of rewarding the good behavior and punishing the bad. This operating is known as Motivation 2.0 (Pink, 2009). However, this method is flawed due to the fact that this implies that humans are no different from a herd of livestock.

  • Reflective Essay On Motivation

    1064 Words  | 3 Pages

    I know that I can do and have done all of this, but I choose to minimize what I do in terms of motivation. In a few of my college courses, I’ve had professors say, “Take a look around you that is your competition.” They are referring to the job market and who will be out there looking for the same jobs and making similar career choices as I would be. There is no motivation for me to motivate someone else who could potentially apply and get job that I want. If motivating was part of my job description and necessary for my career, then I would be motivated to do the best job. Employees are going to live up to or live down to expectations and you can bet that my expectations will always be high. What my supervisors say was my outlook in life, positivity is key. If I am willing to encourage my

People do not even imagine what is the size and capacity of their activities and the impact they produce on the environment. Garbage is an important ecological problem. It is seems amazing that approximately all of the citizens of the world identify rubbish as a major environmental problem and yet these people still litter. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (2008), an American produces 250 million tons of garbage per year (para.2). There are different circumstances that are based on the society, environmental conditions, occupation and size of each of the different family.
