Tandem Students and Faculty Attend Conservation Lobby Day in Richmond

On Tuesday, January 28, several Tandem eighth graders (Charlie Kalnite, Solly Goluboff-Schragger, Kaia Caduff, Maisie Whiting, Josie Fischman, Rachel Branch and Emi Murphy), led by senior Meridith Frazee and teachers Christine Putnam and Anne Deane, went to Conservation Lobby Day in Richmond. They were representing SMAACC or The Students Making Action Against Climate Change, which is the rebranded Tandem Earth group. They talked to their delegates and senators and presented to them about our changing climate. Topics ranged from plastic in the ocean to transportation to net-metering. They also went into the capitol and watched both the Senate and the House deliberate and vote on bills. SMAACC is going to continue to track bills and lobby for these issues.
