Maine youth climate activists Ayano Ishimura and Matilda Allen spoke with Lauren about helping their island community act on climate change, successfully lobbying their town council to declare a climate emergency, and curating a show of climate-related art. As interns with A Climate to Thrive, they are working toward local energy independence and a climate resilient island. They live on Mount Desert Island and Great Cranberry Island, Maine. www.aclimatetothrive.org/
