The news today is overflowing with concerning reports about the negative impacts of climate change, and young people are at the forefront of the conversation. In one global study, 84% of teens and young adults said they were worried about climate change, and another study found that younger generations were more apt to name the climate as their top personal concern.
Schools are in a unique position to address those fears and help foster an environment dedicated to promoting a more sustainable future. “Young people are aware of how their actions affect the climate and want to be the ones actually driving change as advocates for sustainability,” says Dave Sklodowski, vertical market manager of the K-12 segment for Elkay.
