"High Schools for 350Posted May 21, 2009 by Alisha Fowler

There's a lot of talk about college students getting involved in the global warming movement, but what about younger students? It's never to early to start caring for the environment, being a positive force in your community, or, for that matter, getting involved in 350.org.

I got out of the office last week and took the train over to Lincoln High School on the other side of San Francisco. Lincoln sits on a tall hill looking over the Pacific Ocean. It was hard to believe looking out over the water, but across the ocean, one of our newest 350.org field organizers, Abe Woo, was also preparing a series of high school presentations in Malaysia. Talk about acting globally! The students at Lincoln were great (check out the photo in this post) and had me excited about getting high schools around the world involved in the 350 Climate Day this October 24.

If you're a high school student, teacher, or parent (or know someone who is), make sure to sign up your school for October 24 and check out some of our friends and allies who work directly with high schools, like the Alliance for Climate Eduction."

It is refreshing to see that people of all ages (even younger than us) are getting involved in this big event!
