Kids vs. Global Warming: iMatter

You can matter too!

We found an awesome site the other day that is definitely worth sharing: It’s called Kids vs. Global Warming and the focus is about “Empowering Youth to Cool the Earth.”

The site represents a non-profit organization founded and led by Alec Loorz, who is now 14 years old. The organization is run by a group of kids whose goal is to educate other kids about the science of global warming and empower them to take action.

Kids vs. Global Warming spreads its message through a variety of projects. By partnering with “Alliance for Climate Education“ Kids vs. Global Warming are able to reach high school students to explain global warming and its effect on our planet, while offering the students solutions to combat it. The ACE program is scientifically based, interactive, and energizing — and is presented to schools at no cost.

Kids vs. Global Warming also works with California Climate Council of Youth to help teach young adults how to use their voices when asked to speak on behalf of their beliefs.

The site’s main message is that today’s kids DO have the power to make change, and as the ones who will be most affected by global warming, the site emphasizes that they need to stand up and lead the movement to stop it.

The site says: “Adults always say things like, ‘It’s great to have kids involved, you guys are the future.’ But we’re more than just ‘the future.’ We’re here now. We are the present, and our voices do make a difference… We need to be involved NOW. We need to educate ourselves on these issues and find out what if is WE are needed to do. And then we need to simply go out and do it.”

We hope you will share this link and this video with the teenagers you know, as a way to empower them about the Earth-friendly changes they can make in their day-to-day lives.

Thanks!!
