"Going
to Albany with fellow members of the campaign, Mattie and Alex, was a
once in a lifetime experience. Without the motivation and
determination from all of the members of Teens Turning Green we would
have never have had the courage to Lobby in front of 200 people, and
have one on one meetings with our NY State Senators. Talking about
something we believed in was not only a unique experience for us, but a
learning experience for our representatives."
