Because action is the best antidote to climate change!

If you haven't yet viewed the Young Voices for the Planet films, you need to. Immediately. And so do your students! These remarkable films showcase nine youth advocates who, starting with nothing but enthusiasm, are shrinking the carbon footprint in their homes, schools, and communities. And now, with the help of this corresponding teacher's guide, you can help your students take action against global warming, too.

Above all else, Empowering Young Voices for the Planet is about teaching students the science and reality of climate change, while empowering them to respond effectively—and without fear. Inside this guide you'll find

Inspiring true stories of low- or no-cost youth-led projects that address a wide range of environmental issues and engage schools, local government, businesses, the public, and parents
Practical tips for inspiring students to develop projects relevant to their own communities, including planning, financing, safety, and liability
Many creative and replicable ways to reduce CO2 emissions, as well as connections to the Next Generation Science Standards

Discover for yourself what a powerful catalyst "think globally, act locally" can be when integrated into STEM, social studies, environmental studies, and civic engagement lessons. If not now, when?

"The entire film series is beyond fantastic. Through the YVFP films we witness youth taking a stand to fight to save their planet and their future."

Industry Reviews

"The entire film series is beyond fantastic. Through the YVFP films we witness youth taking a stand to fight to save their planet and their future." -- Karla Utting, Programs Director "For youth, the films provide an epiphany, allowing them to realize how much power they have to make positive change in the world. Please watch these films and to get motivated to take action on climate change." -- Chris Palmer, IMAX film producer/ Professor of Environmental Filmmaking "By finding and giving voice to the "bright spots" - the kids who are leading the charge, not passively waiting for adults to act, who are innovating in their homes, schools, and communities to create a more sustainable and yes, fun world, this project is helping thousands of others - kids and adults - find inspiration and motivation to take action." -- Anthony Leiserowitz, Ph.D, Director
