In our first ever youth writing contest this past winter, we invited Montanans 18 years old and under to envision what our communities will look like and how they've responded to climate change in the year 2070. Here we present to you the entire collection of responses from the contest. Read their words, hear their voices, listen to them.

Share your story by submitting to The Changing Times in our second annual art issue! Submissions due July 4. We are so excited to see nature through - and within - your eyes!
