Three classes gathered in the media center on Nov. 2 to listen to a presentation about climate change. The speaker was Ashley Young from nonprofit organization Action for the Climate Emergency. The event was organized by Women in STEM sponsor and science teacher Elisa Sasserath.
Young gave examples of how American citizens and especially teens are affected by climate change. She also talked about the importance of a young person’s involvement in keeping the environment healthy and how to be involved because it will impact them the most.
“This isn’t about climate change, it’s about climate justice,” Young said.
