The 3rd annual Youth Climate Summit was held earlier this month at Tilden Middle School. Dozens of secondary students gathered to learn about climate change, how they could grow as environmental activists and how they could create projects in their communities.
According to the MCPS staff bulletins, “Speakers from a variety of environmental programs spoke to the students, including NOAA, Earth Day, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education, the MCPS Division of Sustainability and Compliance, the MCCPTA Sustainability and Green Schools Subcommittee, Montgomery Parks and the Student Global Ambassador Program. The day ended with students planting trees.”
