We are celebrating #internationalyouthday with stories from our #VotelessNotVoiceless campaign, which offers a platform for youth to share their stories about environmental issues that impact them. 📣✊🌍Check out votelessnotvoiceless to listen, share, and amplify our youth voices, and share your own story too! 

Grace S. grace.swennn (16, TX) is #VotelessNotVoiceless: "A stroll through my suburban neighborhood will display grocery bags clinging to creek banks, plastic shards intertwining roots, and bottles sprinkled throughout sidewalk grass. Research based on this visual demonstrates that Texas shockingly accumulates plastic 10x the rate of other Gulf states.

Each individual’s environmental situation varies, but hope exists. Unfortunately, a key method to improve climate policies is through government legislators. Keeping this and my own state's condition in mind, if I could vote, I would choose someone as passionate and aware of the climate crisis as I am; any candidate eager to improve the environmental state of Earth is eager to improve the state of their people. Remember this.

I cannot vote yet, but you most certainly can. Use it wisely."
