"How We Can Help the 1.3 Million Homeless Students"by John Bridgeland and Tricia RaikesThere are more than 1.3 million students in our country’s public school system with no safe place to call home. Equal to the number of all K-12 students in Virginia or the entire population of Dallas, Texas, these young people pursue their education while contending with the anxiety of homelessness and grinding poverty.Imagine, if you can, trying to memorize your multiplication tables or the Bill of Rights while standing in line outside of a shelter. Imagine wearing the same clothes you wore yesterday and hoping your friends won’t notice—or if they do, that they won’t ask why. Imagine not knowing if you will sleep in the same place tonight as you did last night, or if you will have to search for a new place to rest. Now tell me, what does the 10th Amendment say again?© NewsHour Productions LLC. All Rights Reserved."Climate Change Puts Ocean at Risk"by Vikki SpruillThe most important and immediate thing we must do for the ocean is reduce carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gasses. Despite the United States Government’s pending withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, the New England Aquarium is a proud signatory of the “We Are Still In” Declaration. We stand in solidarity with more than 3,800 leaders from U.S. local, tribal, and state governments, the private sector, cultural institutions, and others who are taking independent climate actions to meet the Paris Agreement.Simultaneously, we must protect 30 percent of the ocean from human impacts to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth. This means maintaining and strengthening existing marine protected areas like our own Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument and designating new areas that safeguard the vast biodiversity and biogeographies of the ocean. In addition, we must conserve and restore coastal ecosystems like salt marshes, seagrass beds, and mangroves to enhance the ocean’s natural ability to store carbon dioxide and mitigate climate change.The Patriot Ledger, Quincy, Mass.
