Our Youth Speak Up

About This Collection

Let's hear from our children, and their advocates, on the social, environmental, cultural, and economic concerns around sustainability and the call to always act responsibly and with the next seven generations in mind. The collection will also feature, from time to time, adults who are speaking on behalf of children. 

To add to this collection email children@earthsayers.com.  Thank you.

Alexandria Gordon, 2021 Brower Youth Awards Winner
October 15, 2021

While at Eckerd College, Alexandria Gordon significantly boosted voter turnout through Florida PIRG. Inspired by this success, she launched a campaign to address plastic pollution on campus. Her efforts led Eckerd to become the nation's first college to sign the "Break Free From Plastic Pledge," committing to eliminate nonessential single-use plastics.

Gordon now works with campuses nationwide to adopt similar pledges and advocates for a federal Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act. Learn more at Brower Youth Awards.
