Green Schools Campaign Launches Mission to Save Planet

LOS ANGELES - Sept. 23, 2020 - PRLog -- The youth of America and the world are taking control of their future - one school at a time through The Green Schools Campaign (GreenSchoolsNow.org). Launched by young activists from the Climate Reality Project Youth Committee, the Campaign's mission is to provide guidance and support for kids around the globe on how to transition their schools to renewable energy. The campaign website's one-minute viral launch video (https://youtu.be/UX2_RBMgZg4) is already a worldwide success.



"The future of our planet depends on the actions we take today," said Green Schools Co-Founder Simon Aron, 14. "The youth of the world are here to send a message: we're not willing to let our future be traded for a profit."

A branch of former Vice President Al Gore's Climate Reality Project, the group has had a lightning fast impact through social media, gaining over 14k views on Instagram and another 10k on Twitter in less than 48 hours. So far, 39 schools across six different continents have been signed up by their passionate students to transition to renewable energy.

Along with the video, Green Schools provides a step by step handbook showing students how to find allies, identify decision makers, and ultimately connect their schools to local renewable energy options like solar, wind, and geothermal providers.

"I had a lot of built up fear, pain, and frustration towards the climate crisis, and working on the Green Schools Campaign helped directly channel those emotions to a tangible action. It made me feel like I could do something about this situation, and we can make real change in our communities and the world," said Lily Morse, the Operations Director of the Green Schools Campaign.
