Hi all, been a minute since I’ve been here on Twitter. I am running a twitter chat with the hashtag #KeepWinterAlive for a school project. I will be posting a series of questions and feel free to respond, just make sure to include the hashtag #KeepWinterAlive in your response.

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

#KeepWinterAlive Q4:For those of you who are winter athletes how would it feel if your sport was no longer possible due to global warming?

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

@TFletchernordic @ProtectWinters Agreed! The act of exposure is always good when it comes to global warming and it's ill effects #KeepWinterAlive

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

Q2: Do you think hashtag campaigns such as these make a real difference? Do you have any other examples of hashtag campaigns that have impacted you? #KeepWinterAlive

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

@ShaunValan Thanks for the input Shaun. I don't blame you for not being into social media. Personally, I am not too active on Twitter either. One hashtag campaign I have seen make a difference is @ProtectWinters #KeepWinterAlive

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

#KeepWinterAlive Q3: What do you enjoy about winter so much, and why is it so important to fight for climate change?

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

@shumatejared @shumatejared a true activist and role model #KeepWintersAlive

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

@KeannaNKing #KeepWinterAlive that's excellent! Did you know that around 40% of food waste ends up in the landfill?! This is according to the NRDC, https://t.co/z3HRZ7dqxW

[Ben Loomis @LenBoomis]

@KeannaNKing Thank you for joining Keanna! As a winter sport athlete myself this is a topic I am very passionate about. I look forward to discussing global warming and its relation to our winters. #KeepWinterAlive
