When Margaret, Mikah, and Jake joined a 12 day global climate change program for high school students in Brattleboro, VT, they did it because they wanted to do more than talk about problems facing their generation.
"Climate change has always been one of the most important issues to me,” said Margaret Weinberg, an incoming senior at Brattleboro Union High School, but “I wanted to get out and actually act on these issues."
Three weeks ago, they joined a group of 15 students who all shared that goal: to actually do something to fight climate change. They had heard about the US Chamber of Commerce’s dirty history of derailing climate policies and meddling in elections, and they decided to leverage their community to stop it.
