The AYEA kids are so inspiring! It's a shame that the government is so far behind the youth of this country. The National Wildlife Federation is really leading the charge against global warming and I commend them! They have this program for high school students and the Chill Out competition for college students. (www.campuschillout.org) Global warming is an issue that young people are going to be stuck with, so it's nice to know that they are stepping up and really leading the way on this!
