Why we love where we live

The view from our classroom

«The feeling climate change gives us is that of responsibility. We feel that we have plunged our great country into an irreversible state by our abusive use of harmful resources. It is our duty to at least attempt to correct the problem we have created for ourselves by taking the initiative. If we can do this, our country will have a chance.»
