What are Geoff Green’s reasons for including high school students in the Students on Ice expedition?

Geoff Green started the program, Students on Ice, for high school students because he wanted to give them an opportunity to understand and value our planet. Students, being the future generation, need to take a closer look at the depleting environmental situation. They can put in their effort to bring about a change in the outlook of the society. He wanted to give the students hands-on experiences that will enable them to understand and shape the future of the world as policy makers.
