Taking Environmental Action with Youth: Helping Our Oceans One Piece of Trash at a Time

Trash in oceans has serious consequences for all living things on Earth (oceanconservancy.org). Spending time cleaning up environments around you can make a big difference in the health of our planet. During Coastal Clean-Up month, people are challenged to not only clean up their local areas, but also to document the trash using the Marine Debris Tracker app.In this webinar, we'll hear from speakers from the Aluet Community of St. Paul in Alaska and members of the scistarter.org team to learn about ways to tackle environmental action and coastal clean-up at a local, community-based and a nationwide/worldwide level. Speakers will share strategies, reflections, and resources for supporting youth to act as citizen scientists and environmental advocates in their communities.
