Inherit the Earth They Shall

By Sustainable Newton

There's nothing meek about the bright, confident, engaged Newton County young people we're featuring for Earth Day.  But rest assured, they shall inherit the Earth.

Recent college graduates and elementary, high school, and college students, they are the generation who understands what's at stake for our world.  Climate action and sustainability are ingrained in how they see the world and live their lives.

We hope you enjoy these stories from them and about them as much as we do.  They have so much to teach us.  Our planet is in good hands.

Our special thanks to Dr. Marcus Pollard with the Newton College and Career Academy, Ms. Betsy Proffitt with Eastside High School, and Mary Darby with Smart Planning Connections for helping us collect these great stories from our young people in Newton County.
