Climate Dispatch: A Truckee Student’s Experience Lobbying for the Climate in D.C.
I am a 12th grader at Truckee High School and a member of the Tahoe Youth Action Team (TYAT), a group of students who work together on environmental advocacy. TYAT is a youth group of Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), an international climate advocacy group. Recently, we have been working on advocating for policies and goals that would make our Tahoe Truckee Unified School District more sustainable, such as a move towards increased electrification and decreased carbon emissions. I have spoken before the school board several times on those issues, alongside other members of our team. Doing so sparked a larger interest in me for combating climate change through legislation. In early June, I had the incredible opportunity to pursue this interest by traveling to Washinton D.C. to attend the International CCL Conference and meet with members of Congress.
