"I think climate change is our responsibility, and we have to do something about it. It’s bad you know - it’s definitely a situation we need to educate ourselves more on and take action about it.” Zaira Enriquez, 22.

“When I think about climate change the first thing that comes to mind is it’s pretty saddening. Animals are being affected - I wouldn’t say most importantly but equally of importance - humans as well. I would sum it all up as sad.” Eduardo Flores, 20.

“Definitely I know it's a real thing but I know the reality that people don’t want to make a change because people are too lazy or overall they don’t believe in it. The way we can help is through finding main sources of energy that aren’t used by fossil fuels. Any renewable energy is better than what we have right now." Allan Ngyuen, 17.

“I think it’s a big problem that people of power are kinda just blowing it off like it’s not a big deal, but in reality it’s kinda literally destroying the Earth.” Caroline Marshall, 18.
