Alec Loorz, high school senior, climate activist and founder of Kids vs. Global Warming began speaking out at 12 yrs old. Now he's the lead plaintiff in ground breaking suit against the government. He talks about his work, basis for the lawsuit and how youth across the country are responding...
This is a phenomenal young man! Leading youth of America in objecting to American environmental policies.
Look at his web site, here:

Alec Loorz started Kids vs. Global Warmng when he was 12 years old because he felt called to do something to stop global warming. He realized that youth are major stakeholders in the climate crisis, and we have the moral authority to demand change. Skip ahead a few years, when Alec and his mom and other young activists decided to organize marches to stand up with a unified voice that our future matters. Thus was born the iMatter Campaign.
We, as the youngest generation, march and take direct action in our communities to remind people what's at stake: our survival, and the survival of thousands of species. Our voices and our actions have power. The iMatter March is one way for us to stand up and remind our leaders over and over again, in a unified voice: WE MATTER!
