Name: Dustin Boomer  

In what University/College are you currently enrolled, or if an Americorps Volunteer, where are you working/volunteering? I am the Waste Reduction Specialist in the Campus Sustainability Office at Portland State University.

Tell us about your major or current career path: I am a student in the Urban and public Affairs program with a focus in sustainability.

Are there any particular segments of the recycling/materials management industry that you would like to work in? I would like to work on a local or federal level to find solutions to reduce our plastics use and general usage of anything single use.

Are there any particular AOR members that you would like to meet? As many as I can :)

What motivates you to recycle and live sustainably? Because we have no planet B. We need to take care of the planet we have so future generations can live here too.

If you were an animal, which one would you be and why? Peregrine Falcon because of their speed and resilience to overcome changing environments.

How did you learn about AOR? Brandon Lesowske
