For many children in the
United States, going back to school means more than returning to classes. It
means getting back to school groups and student organizations interested in
environmental protection.
April Peebler is the leader
of a California-based group called Heirs to our Oceans. It tries to help
12-to-17-year-olds from around the world to learn about and fight for
environmental protection. Peebler believed that young people are usually more
active in environmental protection than adults.
Perhaps the most famous
teenage environmental protector is 16-year-old Greta Thunberg from Sweden, the
leader of Green Angel. She inspired others to start climate-change campaigns
around the world last year. At a recent meeting in Davos, Thunberg said,
"I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to feel the fear I feel every
day. And then I want you to act." Thunberg plans to speak at the United
Nations Climate Action Summit in New York City Inter this month. She will join
world leaders who are expected to discuss plans to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions (排放), which are the main reason for global warming.
Joelle Alley is head of
Earth Team, a California-based group. It offers programs for children
interested in environmental protection and pays those who finally sign up.
Alley says Earth Team organizes teams of 14 students from each high school in
the Richmond, California. Then they work with adults to find environmental
problems around them and then come up with measures to help solve the problems.
The Food Recovery Network
is one of the largest student-led movements fighting food waste and hunger.
Students at U.S. colleges connect college dining halls, local shelters and food
bank to make sure leftover food is given to those in need. Regina Anderson, the
group's director, says students have recovered 3.9 million pounds of food so
far this year.
