Origins of FHTE: My name is Chloe Maxmin (17), and I am the founder of First Here, Then Everywhere. FHTE stems from my
experiences with environmental activism. I founded the Climate Action Club at
my small high-school in Maine.
We provide the opportunities for people in our school and community to
fight global warming. Our work has spread across our school, community,
and the
nation. We have had a major impact on our social and natural
environment.
My
experiences with the Climate Action Club have taught me that young environmentalists from
small towns anywhere in the world can have their voices heard and their goals
accomplished. That is why I began this network. I want to share my powerful experiences to encourage
others to use their voices to save our environment.
My mission:
My personal mission it to make global warming the defining mission of
my generation. I strongly believe that we must heal our world and help
others learn how to do
the same. Big corporations and government regulation will not stop
global
warming alone. The cooperation of individuals and larger
organizations will ultimately save our planet. If every person on this planet
is committed to taking action in their town or state, the world will be a safer
and healthier place. This is why we must stand together to fight global warming. It is our
responsibility. We must act now.
