So inspired by the unanimous vote from the Minnesota Youth Council to support HF3557 / SF3659 establishing the Seal of Climate Literacy in Minnesota. Youth are leading — and we’re proud to stand with them. 🌎✨
Colorado’s future is in excellent hands. Lyra’s Mary Seawell was a guest speaker during last week’s inaugural Youth Climate Lobby Day at the state capitol, which brought together more than 60 students statewide to meet with lawmakers and discuss climate legislation. Video:
