Middle School Students Get It!

I spent this morning visiting with Ms. Grybosky's class at East Millbrook Middle School in Raleigh.

They were doing a presentation about offshore drilling in North Carolina. I was very impressed by their understanding of the issue and how bad it would be for the coastal quality of life if this was allowed to happen.

They've been doing a great job of contacting elected officials and the media about the issue, and they clearly have Senator Dole's ear, as she also sent a representative to speak to the meeting.

You can view the class website about the issue here.

It speaks well to our future leadership that these young people are so aware of environmental issues!
