honesty is the best POLICY

During my sophomore year I co-founded an organization called Funding our Future. The goal of it is to increase teacher pay nationwide. We would take trips down the the capitol and lobby to pass bills. During my time at the capitol I realized that without government policies we will get little done to help our environment. That is where the biggest change can happen, if a law/rule is implemented widespread change can happen. Talk to your representatives whether it's in an email or a letter, anything helps. Our legislators actually want to help us and they want to make this world a better place. Make sure your voice is heard and you advocate for what you are passionate about. If it is the environment you can be doing lots to help it in your community. Whether its planting a community garden or riding your bike to school anything helps!
