A leading communications college sponsored a “pitch competition” last week for area high schools and middle schools to propose ways to raise awareness about climate change. A team comprised of students from Trimble High School in Glouster, OH, and a nearby middle school pitched billboards. It came in second.

The pitch competition was sponsored by the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University in Athens, OH, in the foothills of Appalachia.

Kids from rural Ohio are onto something. Earlier this year, Earth Day Network used billboards nationwide during the run-up to Earth Day on April 22.
