Today, our last meeting this school year was a bitter sweet meeting of our Youth Advisory Council It has been an amazing two years so far serving on this council. I have learned so much from all concerned.
Today our focus was on, among other things, the following: policy discussions regarding gun violence, including background checks, a ban on assault weapons, gun trafficking prevention, gun trafficking prevention, funding gun violence research, safe gun storage, and other potential legislative solutions. Today we reflected upon this past year, and conversed about all we had accomplished.
At my behest, discussion turned to potential legislative solutions to growing environmental concerns and health impacts related thereto. To the extent possible, I always make an effort to bring these issues to the forefront. I think most people are unaware that environmental issues necessarily concern health impacts. I believe that if people were educated on this point, more people would be interest in finding solutions to environmental problems of today.
