On TV last night, there was a young man, only 16, who made my heart jump and my spirits rise. Read about this young environmental activist, Xiuhtezcatl! See him interviewed, listen to him! 16 years old only and has travelled over the world, lecturing, has put pressure on the US government about the environment and what legacy they have to leave for generations to come.
We are a tribe of young activists, artists and musicians from across the globe stepping up as leaders and collaborating to defend our planet. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

A good citizen. What we all should be. Citizens not consumers.
I should add ~ citizens and not consumers, not leaders, not rulers etc but first and foremost citizens/guardians/good stewards of this world.
😚
he is awesome!
Isn’t he!
Wow! Such charisma at 16, such energy, drive and passion….
Love it! More of this energy💚💚💚
Thank you for the introduction to his work…it’s timely with the uncertainty that looms over the USA. Everyone can find a way (no matter how small) to make a contribution to the issues, especially climate change, that face us now and tomorrow.
I was so happy to find a natural, shining light in the darkness. Let us hope.
Indeed…
He has energy and drive and passion.
Yes, he has – and the interview in Swedish television was so great. Only 16, and that involved in politics and environmental wisdom. I also saw the speech he held in front of politicians in the US. He is not afraid, he is intelligent and full of life, and like you say: passion. Many awards has come his way – hopefully he will achieve even more great things for the world and its people. Admirable the way he works against fracking for example. Wow – he is my hero.
Yes I can see from the video he has charisma and leadership qualities. I hope he doesn’t become disillusioned in time as I would like to see how his career develops. I think it is great that he is highlighting the environmental issues and inspiring young people to get involved in politics, however, I don’t think sueing Obama in itself a good strategy. I think it would create more enemies than friends. I do understand that this is sometimes necessary. Thanks for posting, Anne-C.
I agree. And I will follow his career as well. I hope mr Trump will not silence him.
It sounds like he will be active and vocal wherever he is.
That is what the world needs more of. With his origin and traditions of living in harmony with nature. Ever since I was a child I have felt kinship with their philosophy. For many years I had Indian beliefs and sayings and prophesies on my wall. My children too.
Have you posted them on your blog? It would be great to link to them on my weekly quote post proverbial Thursday
There are links in the post! Thank you!
I was referring to links for the Indian sayings you had on your wall. Are they in the post? I can’t seem to see them. Perhaps it is not visible on my phone?
No they are not there! Sorry, I misunderstood! I will try to find them for you!
No worries, thank you!

Some of them are here. If you want me to find more – just tell me! I remember one very remarkable quote saying something about only when the fishes lay dead in the sea and the birds fall down from heaven, will the white man understand what he has done to mother nature.
Oh that is profound! Thank you so much Leya. I can absolutely see why you like them so much. I would like to reproduce these on a Proverbial Thursday Quotes post of mine. I will link back to your blog and the website as the source. Would that be okay?
You are welcome!
Fabulous, thank you for sharing ☺
This is what the world needs!
