Participants at one of the events from Princeton Youth Climate Week. (Harmonie Ramsden)
PRINCETON NJ Princeton High school student Harmonie Ramsden loves reading historic fiction and enjoys watching teen romcoms from the early 2000s.
But the one thing she s most passionate about is climate advocacy.
Ramsden is currently hosting the Princeton Youth Climate Week, which concludes March 21. And as part of the festival, she is calling for a virtual climate strike on Friday, 11:20 a.m. to 11:50 a.m.
Subscribe With regards to the strike, something that I m really hoping for, for instance, is that Princeton University divest from fossil fuels, said Ramsden.
