On April 13, 2023 the Yampa Valley awoke to massive flooding. The principal of nearby Steamboat Springs High School identified it yet another way the impact of environmental change is being felt in rural Colorado. “Eco-Anxiety” is real for students and educational pathways are a great solution. Tal Sheleg has a lot to say about the climate crisis: “No offense to the older generation, but I feel like my generation specifically is really trying hard since it’s going to be on our hands, or our kids' hands.
