XIUHTEZCATL — Earth Guardians

 

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.
