GOAL
10,000 kids. 10,000 actions. Changing how we treat the planet, its animals and each other, one kid and one action at a time.
In our lifetime, 50% of the species on earth could disappear. If all of us do just ONE thing, change ONE habit, we can disrupt climate change, and end mass animal extinction.
Imagine. Thousands of young people taking action to make our world a better place. And, this is just the beginning! Together all things are possible.
Each month we highlight kids making a difference.
