Talking climate with student advocates

The Youth Climate Coalition showed up in big numbers for their State House lobby day. I met with a group of constituents who shared their priorities, including a bill to set a statewide “Farm to School” program. The idea is to direct grant funding to schools. The funds would be used to buy produce from local farms and promote food literacy programs. Impressed by the smart and spirited talk.
