Girl Warriors

By now, we all know the Earth needs saving. And most of us try to do our part – recycling, composting, using less plastic, etc. But it’s hardly enough...yet still, what more can we as individuals do? That question didn’t stop the young activists in Girl Warriors. These young women have Stepped Up! Over and over again, I found myself awed at the stories that included speaking at a UN Climate Change Conference (Isabella Fallahi) and organizing a Global Cleanup Day that included 27 countries (Lilly Platt). The young women profiled are not afraid to tackle large, seemingly insurmountable… show more.

Young readers will be delighted to open these pages and discover contemporary heroes from six continents across the globe. Each story shows how the young person’s unique childhood experiences—surfing, caring for animals, hiking—sparked their passion for saving the planet. I appreciated hearing about how these young activists tried to make a difference, even when they faced obstacles. I hope the stories will inspire you to look for ways to curb climate change in your community, too. The list of resource organizations will help you get started connecting to people who can help.
