  As part of its Climate Action Plan (CAP), Edina is asking youth to lead the way by sharing their climate story. All young people in Edina who are 18 years of age or younger are invited to take a youth-focused survey or tell their story through writing, audio or video uploads.

  Telling your climate story lets others know what you’re thinking and feeling about what’s happening to our climate and what we should be doing about it. You can even write a story from the future-you telling us how we made the CAP work!

  Storytelling is a really powerful way to make climate action personal and inspire others toward action, too. Plus, by sharing your climate story, you will be helping to guide the goals and actions being created right now in Edina’s CAP.
