Welcome!

Welcome to polar bears and astronauts. this is my first blog as well as my first posting. So I am a little excited.

I wanted to create a blog that I could express some of my day to day experiences at the liberal arts college and provide a platform with which to express my perspective.

I am an environmental economist with a developing Austrian perspective. Free market approaches to environmentalism fascinate me. I hope to address developmental questions that value environmental conservation as well as the hard fact that human welfare is intrinsically entwined with consistent economic growth.
