Two current seniors at the Sacramento Waldorf School, Tyler Cochran-Branson and Riley Day, are working together to raise awareness on campus about climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of both the school and its inhabitants. 

Young people often have the time, energy, and idealism to address the injustice they see in the world. And now more than ever, our youth are using these resources to work at changing public policy.

No doubt you are aware of the powerful voices of countless youth across the globe who are challenging the public take climate change seriously. On September 20th, students from a number of Waldorf schools in North America took a stand.  We celebrate their community activism.
