You might have heard about global warming, melting ice and polar bears reaching extinction. However, climate change is so much more! It is about the floods that wreck homes and lives, the droughts that force farmers to abandon their heritage, the rising sea levels that make entire nations UNINHABITABLE. From personal experiences I can assure you that climate change impacts families. Mine in India has become a victim to malaria, lack of agricultural resources, and usable water.
WHO WILL BE NEXT?
MY RELATIVES? FRIENDS? PEOPLE IN YOUR NATION?
IS WANTING WATER TO DRINK, FOOD FOR SURVIVAL AND A HEALTHY LIFE TOO MUCH TO ASK?
Think about the youths around the world and your own children.
Do not consider taking action against Climate Change a sacrifice. Think of the cultures and creatures you will PRESERVE, the jobs you will CREATE, the innovations you will PROMOTE and most importantly the lives and planet you will SECURE, all by enforcing policies that reduce our footprint on the environment.
You have gathered here to talk, and you will again in Copenhagen, but WHAT HAPPENS AFTER?
Do you intend to wait for calamity or battle climate change?
Contact me and let me know of your actions to PRESERVE THE EARTH and THE PEOPLE ON IT.

Hopefully your testimony and that of the other students involved will motivate world leaders to continue talking but more importantly, to start taking action to alleviate the effects of global warming and climate change.
While at Summit our students met with First Ladies from many countries, including our own Michelle Obama. They also got to hear President Obama speak as well as worked with dignitaries from countries all over the world.
