I therefore urge you and ACE to continue your important work." Read the complete letter here.

"ACE provides an unparalleled climate science program that sticks with high-school students. It's the best use of science-class time I can imagine, since it deals with the issue that may dominate the future lives of these kids--high schools should jump at the chance to take part."
"{We] selected a video to show you an example of one of many amazing programs that is happening, that's educating our young people and creating eco warriors."

"I want to congratulate you on the impact you’ve been making. At several meetings with environmental groups, people have mentioned Alliance for Climate Education. A teacher recently told me that
participation in her Environmental Club doubled after your presentation!"

"We were all extremely impressed. Many students commented that it was the best presentation they had seen. Students were extremely motivated following the presentation. I had one student tell me that he had decided to use the period for a nap, but when Michael began speaking – he couldn’t sleep because he was so interested."

"140 students signed up AFTER your presentation for many reasons. Your multi-media, multi-faceted program not only appealed to the way this generation listens and learns, it stimulated & motivated them to focus on the concept & message and become proactive to create a positive impact on their future, & the future of their planet relative to climat change & global warming. I have been @ Marian Catholic since 1980, & I have never observed such an overwhelming positive response & feedback to a presentation."

"My students and I were very impressed with your presentation. The animations of the presentation went very well with the information you were providing. It really captured the attention of my students. Some of my students have been very enthusiastic about starting a recycling program here at our school. We throw away tons of paper that could be recycled and we need to do something about it."

"I am a parent of a young man who was in the audience during the ACE presentation. My normally quiet and reserved son, could not wait to share his experience with our family. He talked about how the world his generation was inheriting is not the world he wants! He now believes he has the power to change global warming and he plans to begin in our own neighborhood. He is planning to recycle, change our lightbulbs to CFL, and plant a garden in our backyard! Thank your for the inspiration and information. Apparently A.J. has the ability to relate to hight school students and motivate them to get involved in their future. Great job ACE!"

"I would like to take a few moments to thank ACE for coming to our school last week and presenting to our students. Not only were the students receptive to the information that was offered, they left feeling empowered and excited about the future. Capturing the attention of high school students is not an easy task, but your presenters made it look effortless. I appreciate all the options that were offered and will assist my students in their pursuit of a positive future. "

"Thank you so much for your fantastic presentation yesterday! My students kept saying by how much they enjoyed the slideshow and found it very entertaining...I think your organization, ACE, really understands what it takes to reach students in this digital era. I was so excited to see how many of our students came up to speak to you about your work after the presentation as well. I am absolutely interested in having you back in the future so that more of our students can benefit from your important, and very engaging, presentation. I will also be passing your contact information on to other science teachers I know from different districts. Thanks again and best of luck to you & ACE!"

"I thought that the ACE presentation was amazing. It really spoke to a wider audience and targeted all age groups. The video's animation and Rouwenna Lamm's presentation made a very serious topic fun to learn about. Project Green is currently looking into joining forces with ACE to accomplish some environmentally friendly tasks on campus."

"I want you to know how very impressed I was with the assembly on climate education that Ambessa Cantave presented to our students... The stories of young people across this country who are making a difference are simply inspirational and the practical suggestions you offer will help our students all think deeply about how they too can become 'climate heroes'."

"I have never before seen a school assembly get so many students fired up about an issue before. The presenters did a great job mixing humor with the seriousness of climate change. Their ultimate message, that the youth of this country need to lower their emissions but more importantly raise their voice, clearly resonated with our students."

"Again, I would like to thank you for the presentation. It was one of the most informative and interesting presentations I have seen. The images, videos and graphs in your presentation were very engaging and timely. I think that your presentation made it very clear how our own behavior and consumption has an impact, and how we can make manageable changes to lessen our impact."
