"Green Chucks" talks with two Ohio State University students, Sarah Lenkay and Kristin Arnold, about their experiences at the Ohio Powershift conference. Powershift is an international youth movement to end our nation's dependency on fossil fuels and to promote cleaner energy alternatives such as wind power and solar energy. Sarah talks about what inspired her at the conference and why the Ohio Lieutenant governor was booed by students! Kristin talks about Powershift from an organizer's perspective. She organized a group of students to attend the conference and led small group "breakout" sessions. Both Sarah and Kristin talk about how people can become involved in the Powershift movement in Columbus, Ohio.
