Silver Award Winner in Junior Prose Amanda Hao amandaahao (13, California) wrote a sophisticated critique of the current political administration in her essay "SOS: World’s Oceans Ebbing Toward Extinction." Amanda's got our vote!
.
"The prospects for recovery are bleak, especially since our reckless abuse of the planet is now countenanced by a U.S. president who is governed more by greed than stewardship. Will we marvel, like pilgrims at the site of a miracle, as our oceans rebound? Or, will we be left with only the pathetic lament: too little, too late?"
