FOCUS: The whole world is watching response to climate change

Staff reports  |  Scores of impassioned activists, young and older, crowded the Stern Center Gardens at the College of Charleston Friday afternoon to discuss real solutions to climate change and ask leaders to do more and better.  All across the world, millions did the same.

In Charleston at the Climate Crisis Moment event, the energy of participants, particularly girls and women college students, was inspiring, writes contributing photographer Rob Byko.

“They crafted the words, scheduled the speakers, led the charge and called out for all of Charleston to come out and match their enthusiasm.  The drum beat repeated over and over…’Register to Vote’ and ‘Get Out the Vote’ If you can’t vote or are too young to vote, influence those who can.
