A&WMA has begun its second century with a special focus on climate change and greenhouse gas management. To encourage young people to consider careers in science and engineering, where they can have a positive impact on this and other important environmental issues, A&WMA invited high school students to submit essays for its annual award. This year's winner, William Gilmore, answered that call with a well-designed essay, thanks to his teacher, Mrs. Heather Johnson of Midway High School in Dunn, NC. William won US$400 for his efforts. The winning essay is reproduced below.
