After graduating from college in the spring, I hopped over to New Hampshire to begin work on Climate Summer, a student-led effort to organize a 5 day march across New Hampshire in order to call for national action on climate change in the key primary state.

I am optimistic about the U.S. beginning to finally move in the right direction on this issue, and am now hoping to see how we can begin to look for a global solution for this most global of problems.
