My story: Why I work in the youth climate movement

I have a very distinct memory from high school the first time I ever thought about what it meant to be an environmentalist. I was staring at a photo of a polar bear in the section about global warming in my textbook, not paying attention to what my teacher was saying but instead focusing on this image in my head that I had seen of thousands of people marching in the streets for the first Earth Day in 1970.

We're Cleaning Up the Dirty South

The Southeast is plagued by dirty energy. Dirty coal plants pollute our communities and climate, while utilities continue to force ratepayers to subsidize the building of proposed new dirty energy infrastructure. Our region's mega-utilities spend millions to buy our southern political leaders' votes to continue their polluting practices.
