ACE Announces 2009 Action Scholarships

Senior_Robin_Roettger_ActionAlliance for Climate Education (ACE) is very excited to announce that this spring, we’ve been able to award 5 junior and 11 senior high school students with ACE Action Scholarships! The quantity and quality of the applications we received was incredible and first and foremost we must say a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who applied, for their ongoing efforts to lower their carbon emissions and raise their voices.

The Winners
From designing eco-conscious fashion, to researching fuel originating from microscopic bugs, to banning plastic bags in cities, the winning students’ projects really encapsulate the diversity of thought and solutions needed to overcome the climate crisis. There is no silver bullet when it comes to solving the climate crisis. We need all of you, all of your ideas, your creative energy. And while climate news seems to get worse each day, student projects happening around the Bay Area (and no doubt our country) are reasons to be optimistic.
