Hello everyone, my name is Alex Levitz, and I proudly hail from Brooklyn, NY. I originally attended Quest University Canada (in Squamish, British Columbia), but I transferred to SUNY Potsdam in order to major in Biology (with a focus on all things microbiological, especially gene therapies and energy production applications). I have always been interested in sustainability and the preservation of our Earth’s environment, so much so that I inspired my mom to found WRAP (the White Roof Action Project, which is a nonprofit organization aimed at inspiring the adoption of white roofs on homes, thereby increasing the albedo effect). Furthermore, I am currently working on designing a solar array and green roof combination for my house, which will hopefully allow us to obtain all of our energy without relying on the grid (I am intending to utilize the new Tesla solar battery “Powerwall”, which will alleviate the issue of storing the captured energy, and having to rely on the grid at night). Thus, I am a strong proponent of sustainability, as it is indeed one of the most pertinent issues that we must address and embody if we are going to persist as a species.
