I am Alba Victoria
A biopsychologist highly interested in conservation
Dedicated to engaging science communication
Who is simply trying to find more sustainable ways
To support our current and future generations
Precisely because we are such a fortunate
generation
Full of rapid technological advancements that have
changed many nations
Our Internet friends have become numeric
abbreviations
And a doubt in our minds can be solved
within seconds
We are more connected than we have ever been
Like a virtual rainforest of interlinking trees
As part of a fiber-optic system of roots
We just won't prosper until we grow into shoots
And knowledge flows like water
An invaluable and vital form of information matter
A self-sufficient resource that can take
any course
Yet there is unbalance on Earth
Areas untouched and in drought
Floods that enrage and break out
But we can channel this force
