The Central New York Youth Climate Summit
Mr. Mauro and eight members of the OCS Environmental Club attended the CNY Youth Climate Summit at SUNY ESF along with many other schools in the area. The summit theme this year was “We Are a Force of Nature.” Students were able to attend presentations given by local professors, scientists and activists in the morning. In the afternoon, students attended a “Green” fair consisting of environmentally focused organizations, ESF clubs and high school Environmental Clubs. After that, students got together with their schools and worked on a Climate Action Plan focused on how they can reduce their school’s impact on climate change and environmental issues. The students came home energized and excited about making a positive change in their community and will continue to work on projects the rest of the year. This amazing event was organized by local Master Teachers and SUNY ESF.
