Young people are increasingly at the forefront of climate change activism. According to a study in The Lancet, around 70% of people ages 16-25 are extremely worried or very worried about the climate. And in Maine, that commitment to acting on climate change was on display at two events this month. In Augusta, at least 100 high school students from across the state spilled out on a plaza behind the statehouse for a rally last week.
