3 ways to engage, empower and activate environmentally minded youth | Devex: "I co-founded and run an environmental education and youth leadership nonprofit called EarthEcho International.

You see, when we first started EarthEcho more than 10 years ago, we — like many other environmental organizations — thought awareness was the key. We soon discovered that young people possess a curiosity and drive that requires more than simple awareness — they want to take action, they want to have an impact. And that’s where the rest of us come in.

As environmental advocates, educators, community and corporate leaders and citizens, there are three things we can do to help young learners and leaders have a profound impact on the environment and the future: engage, empower and activate."
