    Schools can play a bigger role in shaping future environmental leaders by teaching more about environmental issues at a young age and encouraging youth involvement with them. We can support this by creating school communities where we help create environmental change and improve youth leadership.

    I heard lots of ideas from young people about their lives, the world, and the environment. I agreed with a lot of what I heard, but was definitely surprised by how much they knew about some of these issues.

    Who is most affected by environmental degration or environmental irresponsiblity in your community? How are they affected? What actions can you take to support those affected by these issues?

    In my community, the people most affected by environmental degradation and irresponsibility are homeless people. They often don't have the resources to avoid it and their health and life may be affected. Helping reduce waste, donating to homeless shelters, and supporting homeless in general will help them.

    To prepare for extreme weather events, we practiced what we would do in case of a natural disaster. One helpful tip is to have an easily accessible box pre-packed with everything you need during an emergency.
