My hope for the new President is that he will take action on Climate Change and continue to move forward along with other world leaders. Government officials need to come together to fight against climate change, and continue to work towards saving our Earth. Attending the Inauguration was a truly incredible experience and I am grateful for this opportunity." ~Melissa Cowell
