The 2025 Long Island Youth Climate Summit!

We’re still buzzing with excitement from the first-ever Long Island Youth Summit—and what a day it was! Over 200 students from across the region came together to learn, connect, and take action on the climate crisis. It was an inspiring day full of energy, curiosity, and a shared commitment to a more sustainable future.

Whether you’re living with your family, staying in a dorm, or renting off-campus, there are small things you can do every day to save energy. These simple actions don’t just help lower energy bills—they also reduce pollution and protect the planet. 🌍

Here are some student-friendly tips to help you use less energy at home, at school, or anywhere in between.

A special thank you to Ms. Hall and her students for helping uncover these valuable tips, inspired by resources from MortgageCalculator.org!

Are you looking for a way to do something, make a difference? So did I.  And to help others like myself, I spent my summer researching ways to do so, finding resources to help students like me do something to help our environment, mitigate climate change and help our earth.

The Long Island Clean Energy Hub, Renewable Energy Long Island, and Students for Climate Action are committed to fighting the climate crisis and the youth voice is the strongest, after all, it is your future.
