“We are already seeing the drastic effects of climate change. Folks on the East Coast are faced with once in a lifetime storms and hurricanes, while on the West Coast, we’re experiencing heat waves of up to 110 degrees. People’s lives are going to be altered if we don’t address this issue.”

“The biggest problem right now is the burning of fossil fuels. The gases from these fuels are trapped under our atmosphere and ultimately destroys it. People may not realize it yet but climate change is killing our oceans, our wildlife, our environments and our own people.”

—Senior Rachel Mao
