Newswise — To celebrate Valentine’s Day, students at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF)were asked what they love about the Earth.

The next generation of environmental leaders gave answers ranging from the diversity of life on the planet to the many opportunities that exist for exploration. They appreciate raw materials, natural beauty and the place that provides a home to their friends and family.

As a thank you for their time, students were treated to a post-interview cupcake.
