Local students have started a campaign to contact state and national environmental groups and leaders about Kids for a Cool Planet, a real or virtual march on D.C.
The League of Conservation Voters, Conservation Council of NC, NRDC, Conservation Network of NC, Sierra Club, SEAC, SURGE, World Wildlife Fund, Nature Conservancy are just a few that will be asked to fall into line with kids who want the U.S. to do more to save the planet.
Can kids vote? No. Will they be able to breathe natural air and drink from local water supplies 10 years from now. Maybe not.
So voting is not the issue. Global warming is. And our kids are watching us.
