"I originally decided to participate in this competition just for fun, but, as I began drawing, I was overcome with sympathy for the animals represented, and my research led me to understand more about the true extent of damage the changing climate causes to our world... I wish to convey to all viewers that... we, humans, must do all we can in order to stop it once and for all." ~Maya L. mayablueskies (Age 14, Washington D.C.) 💙💙💙 .
