Earth Month and Environmental Issues

This Earth Month, we bring you a collection of youth perspectives calling for reforms to protect the planet for future generations. The image, audio, and video-based projects below display Gen-Z’s passion for environmental activism—these youth insist climate change is already affecting us today, and they are inspired to find solutions to protect the planet and its biodiversity. Listen to their stories and share the ones which resonate the most with your classroom and community.

All of the pieces were written and produced using the free KQED Youth Media Challenge curriculum. Find thousands more youth voices on the Youth Media Challenge Showcase, where middle and high school students are sharing issues and topics that matter to them.
