REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Climate Activism Youth Climate OrganizationsHow can youth climate organizations lead in different ways and/or make more of an impact than other climate organizations?
Haley Dal Porto 4/15/2020 6:11 AMYouth, I feel, are more confident than older people, though older people know more about life in general, sometimes they say, "The world's fine the way it is! I have a good life!" But youth are good at learning, and they know facts for what they are. And most of them are not stuck in the stupid system of the rest of the world. -
