“We don’t feel the direct impacts of climate change in our communities, while many other poorer communities that are unable to defend themselves are feeling these impacts of increasing temperatures and worse environments for themselves,” Haning Lu, a 10th grader at Newton South, said. “That is why ignorance is the first step toward destruction.”
