The Conservative Answer to Climate Change - Bob Inglis_republicEn

Rep Bob Inglis shares his journey from climate disputer to climate change activist. Following a science committee trip to Australia, he had a spiritual awakening moving him to consciously loving God and loving people and leaving the world a better place for future generations. Upon his return, he introduced the Raise Wages Cut Carbon Act of 2009. Unfortunately, the act was defeated but his desire to continue the conversation was not.

Bob provides insight into how both sides of the aisle can come together to create bipartisan action that is durable.

Empowering Youth to Use Their Voice to Address Climate Change Solutions_Caroline Lewis_GenCLEO

As a high school science teacher, Caroline Lewis was passionate about breaking down complex science into simple consumable nuggets of information. She expanded her work outside schools to design programs that drove youth to ask questions, and help the disengaged become engaged. Caroline founded CLEO Institute in 2010, and later developed the GenCLEO youth advocacy group composed of students coming together to advocate for environmental justice and climate change solutions. Through the program, students learn about the latest climate science from reputable and vetted sources, and increase their advocacy and communication skills through training and engagement opportunities. Today’s youth are looking to hold elected officials accountable, and work together to build a brighter future. GenCLEO provides them with the tools, skills, and resources to help them find their voice.
