BRUNSWICK — Nine area students representing Morse, Brunswick and Mt. Ararat high schools shared with an attentive audience their thoughts and concerns about the environment during the second annual Students Speak panel discussion on April 25 at Curtis Memorial Library.

With the premise that the population is facing a time of global climate change, these articulate students demonstrated their strengths in both understanding the problems and taking personal action toward necessary change.

Student participants were Eric Farnsworth, Adeline Schneider and Caroline Carrigan from Mt. Ararat; Maddie Kay, Kadin Woolever and Liz Washington from Brunswick; and Josh Valentine, Amy Franklin and Rachel Detwiler of Morse. Their panel was moderated by Bowdoin College student Alithea McFarlane, who asked them questions prepared by organizers and audience members.

Community members who attended this event were inspired both by the youths’ enthusiasm and personal commitment to address environmental problems. Several students said they intend to further their education in fields that will directly address these problems.
