About
We are a team of students from Vermont, who all joined the 2016-2017 cohort for a program called What's the Story. It is a program that gives middle and high schoolers, like us, the opportunity to inspire and promote change within our communities. We were all interested in issues surrounding the environment, but we had different specific ideas, like water quality, invasive species, and the decreasing bee population. Then we decided on water quality, and more specifically, Lake Champlain. About a month into the program, we weren't going anywhere and we couldn't come up with ideas, so we decided to change our focus to young people (millennials and post-millennials) and their efforts to improve water quality. So far, we have made a lot of progress with this topic, and we plan on finishing with it.
