We are a dedicated group of children, youth, parents, schools, and organizations working together on behalf of leaving a better world for future generations. We are committed to being active care-takers of our precious Earth.

Beginning in our own lives and within our own families, we focus on taking responsibility for lowering our Carbon Footprint, so that we are a living example of the values we want to pass on to our families, our schools and our community. By changing our relationship with the Earth and connecting directly with nature, we understand that our every decision is affecting the Earth's ability to support life.

By building a generation of conscientious, inspired individuals who will be our future decisions makers, we are insuring a new way of how the next generation relates to the Earth so they don't make the same mistakes our generation made. The youth have the most to lose from the decisions the generation in charge are making. They also have the most to gain if action to protect the Earth and teach others how, is taken now.

We take these principles out into our community to rally youth and adults around critical issues, seeking to open the hearts of policy-makers with a simple message that helps them realize how their political decisions affect the future of all children, thus encouraging them to become leaders themselves in the areas of sustainability and environmental responsibility. We all need to live as if the future matters!
