On January 25, 2024, I explored Environmental day with Earth Club this year for the third time. This year was my favorite Environmental Day considering the perfect weather that day as well as the amazing speakers who contributed their ideas on the water issues that Arizona is facing.

I was very honored to be able to represent Westwood High Earth Club this year as a fellow speaker alongside my friends Jayden and Heidy. This made Environmental Day even more special because I got to branch out my opinions and speak on my behalf of the current issues going on with our water.  Apart from that I also learned so much about our water policies and the connection with the rivers which are Arizona’s water sources.

The highlight of the day for me was listening to the many educational speeches, especially seeing so many young people like me who also want to advocate for what they want to see in the future of our community.

I hope to see many more young people participate in Environmental Day and learn about the ongoing actions that will help lead our community into the right path.

Thank you!
