loden.garnet is a word WIZARD! 🧙🏻✨ Each section of their Silver Award winning piece from our 2020 Ocean Awareness Contest is worth the read, promise! (plus, you get to see their smiling face at the end 😊)

"When I was in the fifth grade, I did a project for my STEM class on polar bears and the impact climate change had on Arctic life. As I was immersing myself in all of the literature and resources that I could find, I often felt like the people around me were severely under-reacting," they wrote ✍️

🌎 "I recognized the threat of climate change as a dire one, and to me, it looked like the adults and people in power around me were not taking nearly enough action. That project was what sparked my passion for climate action, and I quickly became educated on the extraordinary importance of climate justice as well." 📚💪

Who can relate? ✋
