The survey is running indefinitely, until the organizers receive word from the Committee on next steps. Please do share with any students or youth in your sphere! They really want to hear from young people about how climate change is impacting them and what solutions they support, so the more people you can send it to the better!

An important action to mitigate CC every single day for the rest of our lives is to change the source of our own electricity from fossil fuels to clean energy. Although, that is difficult in WV, at the moment, an easy way to do it is to use the company https://www.arcadiapower.com/ It is REALLY EASY, pain free and free of cost to reduce 50%, and also affordable to reduce 100%. Also available if you rent or can't afford to install solar panels.
