This week, we will be talking about Earth Guardians, a nonprofit that aims to get the youth to be leaders and drive the conversation of climate change, environmental issues, and social justice movements. The Earth Guardians are an organization that started out as an accredited high school in Maui, Hawaii in1992. Unlike ordinary high schools, this one put more of an emphasis on having an environmental awareness embedded into their curriculum. Students enrolled in this school would take part in various responsibilities that aim to better the environment and help increase the awareness of preserving the environment. Some actions that they took involved stopping the burning of sugar cane which is toxic to the environment.
Earth Guardians have been around for 28 years and their impact on the world has continued as they gain more followers and broaden their position and platform. In their 2020 report, they have managed to affect many parts of the world in beneficial ways. The European team helped clean up rivers and oceans, host educational workshops for climate change, and have cigarette clean-ups. The Brazilian team created a massive garden that hosts various trees and plants which is used by the local community. The team in India created over 50 rooftop gardens and a host of other achievements.
Organizations like the Earth Guardians have helped us combat climate change and help educate the new youth about the dangers of not caring. It is crucial that we support organizations like these and help them as they are the future. For more information about the Earth Guardians go to this link: https://www.earthguardians.org/.
