Legislator Drucker presented Abigail Rajan, Chloe Ng, Zahara Naqvi, Haley Brodzansky, and Sophie Hu with Nassau County Legislature Citations in recognition of their innovative research and dedication to addressing climate change in America and around the world.
“With the threat of climate change bearing down upon us more severely each day, we must act now for the sake of our future generations to slow and reverse these profoundly damaging trends,” Legislator Drucker said. “That is why it was truly a pleasure to recognize these young women for demonstrating how all of us can play a role in protecting the environment and stabilizing our climate.”
