Youth-Led Initiatives Drive Environmental Improvements in California and Virginia
Two youth-led environmental initiatives highlight the impact of young people on climate action. In California, three students founded Go Greenish, engaging over 600 volunteers across eleven states to promote electric buses, recycling, and community gardens. Meanwhile, Virginia teen James Hemphill co-founded Project Green Teens, mobilizing 70 volunteers to remove nearly 5,000 pounds of debris and restore oyster reefs in the Chesapeake Bay. Both efforts demonstrate youth leadership in advancing local environmental improvements.
