As the world’s first youth-led constitutional climate case addressing climate pollution from the transportation sector, ICP is proud to support the youth plaintiffs in this case! We celebrate this win alongside the rest of Hawaiʻi and its impact far beyond it!

It was a pleasure to speak with Scott Hennessee and Beth Farnsworth on Be Mindful @newschannel312 about a tough topic. Young people are inheriting a world that is full of turmoil and conflict. Can we do right by them? keyt.com/health/be-mindful/2… tinyurl.com/Keytnews

Fun fact: the giant Seeing Stone in ep. 3 of Spiderwick was inspired by the Mên-an-Tol formation in Cornwall, which is said to have a fairy presence.✨🧝‍♀️🧌🧚‍♀️✨
