Over the past month, I& #39;ve had the absolute pleasure of working with 6 other guest editors on @GuardianUS& #39; Climate Change issue! It dropped today, so here& #39;s a thread of our stories about what the climate crisis means to Gen-Z! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/21/climate-takeover-meet-first-time-voters-guest-editing-guardian-us">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...
Devin Mullins pitched a story about the student-led push on college campuses to get admin on a faster timeline for carbon neutrality. Great coverage on activism. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/21/student-climate-protesters-urge-universities-carbon-neutral-">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...
Jessica Díaz Vázquez wrote an incredibly compelling essay about growing up around petrochemical plants. It really opened my eyes to how workers are reliant on the very companies that poison their environment. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/commentisfree/2020/sep/21/climate-change-first-time-voters">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/c...
Another essay! Cora Dow wrote about growing up in Alaska and seeing the effects of the climate crisis (fisheries closing, herrings disappearing, glaciers shrinking) firsthand. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/21/sitka-alaska-community-changed-forever-climate-change-cora-dow">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...

Alice Shinn and I worked on a piece about Gen-Z climate doomers, who are voters that believe the effort required to fix climate change may not be in the cards. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/21/meet-the-doomers-some-young-us-voters-have-given-up-hope-on-climate">https://www.theguardian.com/environme...
Another story I pitched about a trend I noticed while getting my license: the rise of electric vehicles in driving schools. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/21/generation-z-drivers-push-schools-teach-eco-conscious-cars">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...
