"I think what scares me most is how quickly things can deteriorate – how you've had single seasons where you've lost significant percentages of the Great Barrier Reef; you go to Yosemite and you see dead pines everywhere."

"To me,  the climate crisis should be a unifying thing for all of us in this country and around the world, rather than something that divides us. Also, it’s something that impacts all of us – yet, it impacts us differently."

Allison Su

She/her 

Recent Graduate of Barnard College

“It’s important to realize that if we have this mindset that everything is doomed, that’s really counterproductive, because that contributes to the whole business-as-usual mindset. In order to be able to act on climate, you have to believe that there is a positive future on the other end.”
