My name is Brian Ocotlan-Urbano, and I am a Junior at the University of Maryland, majoring in Applied Physics. I am from the Baltimore city area, and my family is from Mexico. So, as someone who enjoys spending time hiking trails or fishing to clear my head. As well as occasionally reading about proven forms of government corruption in the news. I have a strong interest in exploring how specifically forms of government corruption finds its way into damaging the world’s ecosystems. So, on this blog, I will be exploring how things such as personal agendas, manipulated legislation, government-backed industrial and agricultural expansion, and much more contribute to environmental damage.
