“Big Oil has Fundamentally Altered How I Experience Everyday Life” 

Hi, I’m Maddi Schink, a 26-year-old graduate school student and one of the 8 young people who signed an amicus brief in support of Boulder County. Thank you all for being here today to hear our stories of how climate change has undeniably affected our lives. We are inheriting a warming world and a system beholden to the interests of fossil fuel companies. Young people are collectively paying the price for decisions we did not make, and the costs are deeply personal.
