Decorah Middle School Climate Change Action Group

DRC After Hours Sponsor: Shannon Duncan

Students from the Decorah Middle School Climate Change Action Group (CCAG) and their sponsor Scott Boylen will visit the After Hours group to share their vision for an innovative, future elementary school. Their purpose is to engage area adults and engender their support for a new, energy-efficient, renewable energy-powered infrastructure designed for the students – and climate – of the future.

The students are comprised of 6th - 8th graders who volunteer their time and energy to the CCAG before and after school, as well as during weekends and vacation time. These young climate advocates illustrate the benefits of solar and geothermal energy, school gardens, electrochromic glass, insulation and more, while explaining how it would benefit learning conditions and a stable climate for their children’s generation.

They will be offering a slide presentation, other visuals, and a question-and-answer session.
