Climate Champions Youth Leaders
Elea Castiglione
“I am a part of Climate Champions because the future of this world depends upon young people understanding climate change and fighting for the planet.”
Annie Do
“I am a part of Climate Champions because I believe that by preparing K-12 to combat the climate crisis on an intersectional level, we can create a future that is safe, healthy, and livable for all.”
Miranda Mendoza
“I want more teachers to teach about Climate justice because the planet cannot afford more people living in environmental ignorance. People from all ages must know what is causing climate change, how this is directly affecting us, and what can we do to have a conscious living. This will also help when it comes to voting and how we can choose candidates that will act in favor of the environment, as well as changing or adding laws to protect our environment.”
Meghan Pugh
“I am a part of Climate Champions because I want to do anything I can to help raise awareness of climate change and do my part in helping solve this problem.”
Bella Santos
Emma Weibel
Kate Vedder
“I am a part of Climate Champions because educating students about the climate crisis is critical for creating a generation of young climate leaders that will fight for a just, sustainable, and healthy planet. I will be attending UCLA in the fall and planning to study environmental science. Currently, I am the co-president of Greenpeace PLHS (eco-club at my school) and leading SanDiego350’s Youth v. Oil campaign.”
