ORLANDO — An Orange County eighth-grader is getting international attention.
Kira Myers, 13, of Windy Ridge School, produced a minute-long video that will be shown to 192 world leaders during the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.

“I really feel like I’m making a difference, because if we can show our world leaders that the generation that’s coming into play cares, maybe they’ll pick up the pace and really do something to help our earth,” Kira told News 13.

Her video is one of just 15 out of 500 entries that will be shown during the conference. Just five of those videos are from the U.S.

Kira’s teachers, understandably, were very proud.

Indeed we are all very proud of Kira and hope that her and others like her will have a positive impact on the future of our world. Take a minute to watch her video.
