Tandem Earth is getting ready for Lobby Day in January, when they'll go to Richmond to speak to their representatives about environmental issues, from clean water and wildlife conservation to good governance and climate.
This Fall, they organized a trash clean up, and a bake sale to raise funds after Hurricane Helene. Tandem Earth also helped prepare a clothing swap for our end-of-semester festivities to mitigate clothing waste in our community.
Club President, Junior Will M. shares what the club means to him: "The environment has always been super important to me. Last year I really started trying to get involved in activism, and this has been a big part of that. I think Tandem Earth is really important to me, and that I can try to help my community be better on environmental issues and help myself do better as well."
Another member of Tandem Earth, Hudson L. says, "I joined at the start of this year, and I feel like I haven't been doing enough to help the Tandem community and help the environment at large, and I feel like this is a way to put myself out there and try to bring change to the school and the wider area."
