In the home stretch

We have less than a month until our movie premiere at the aquarium. It will be here way before we are ready. We have over 15 organizations that have committed to participating in our movie premiere. I'm very excited. We met yesterday to do some more filming. We are getting to the end of what we need to film and really have mostly editing left. Time to get in gear.

I was sent a great article today on why it is so important to have our youth involved in climate change actions. You can read it here.

I hope you have the premiere on  you calendar. It's Wednesday, September 28 beginning at 6:30 at the aquarium!

Our Action Pledges

Our students met yesterday to work on our action pledge. In order to help everyone have a better understanding of what the students were looking for, we had each of them film their own. Here is what they had to say:

Keela:

Keela has even started the ball rolling on her plans for a beach sweep. We will be hosting one in conjunction with the NC Big Sweep the Saturday before our big premiere. We're hoping to tie the sweep in the 350.org's Moving Planet Day. We're going to encourage people to get to the sweep without using fossil fuels! It'll be here before we know it. We'll keep you updated as details emerge.

Stay tuned for more fun!
