“Of all the projects that I’m involved in and all of the things that I do this is the most inspiring, this is the one I get up in the morning for, because it’s so exciting and so inspiring to see solutions coming out of it. When you look at all of the things and when you stand up at the end of the day and you listen to all of the things that they’ve accomplished, it’s just amazing, it’s the most inspiring thing that I have ever seen. It’s not about climate change, it’s about regenerative change and increasing job opportunities, and green job growth and green education, and that’s what you’re seeing.”

“The Adirondack Youth Climate Summit was an incredible experience. Not only was it a lot of fun, but I also learned so much in such a short period of time. I feel wizened about the global situation of climate change, and I was encouraged to learn that we have the capacity to deal with it.”

“The Youth Summit has been the foundation of my future. It opened up doorways for travel to places like Costa Rica, landed me as a featured person in a documentary and had me marching with nearly 400,000 individuals in the streets of NYC. When looking for colleges I had sustainability in mind and based my decision on the decisions and offering with regards to climate. Since having taken an interest in the environment and AYCS I have made it my personal goal to go into business, a career I knew I wanted, with a focus in promoting sustainable technologies and their proliferation.”
