Over the past half-century, North America has lost more than a quarter of its entire bird population, or around 3 billion birds.

Ready to step aside and let the youth show us the way!

Let's all do our part to make our earth better.

Water Crises are happening at an alarming rate throughout the country. What should a community in crisis expect?

"Stay woke and keep fighting. Our public health protections fundamentally tell us how much or little we value our children. Beyond drinking water, the stories of Flint and Washington also shed light on the deteriorating infrastructure and environmental injustice in our cities. It’s not enough to be aware of injustice; we need to take action — even when it’s hard or scary or may seem impossible. And especially when everyone else wants you to stay silent."
