High school students Addie and Max share their thoughts on climate change in a "One Small Step" conversation. Addy reflects on warmer winters in Minnesota, recalling a snowless Christmas and worrying about what future generations will face. Max highlights the impact on Minnesota’s wildlife, like the decline of moose populations caused by prolonged tick infestations and heat stress. Both fear a future without snow and stress the urgency of finding solutions. Their heartfelt conversation is a powerful reminder of how climate change is shaping their sense of place and their hopes for a sustainable future. #ClimateChange #OneSmallStep #YouthVoices #Sustainability #Minnesota
