Kids are more interested in sustainability than ever before, with climate change consistently ranking as a major concern among kids and teens in polls. Favorite characters like Dr. Seuss’s Lorax or loveable mouse Maisy can help young children learn more about nature and how to protect the environment. Tweens and teens can read about real life changemakers like Greta Thunberg and Wangari Maathai with Rebel Girls Climate Warriors, or get inspired to tackle their own environmental projects like youth activist Ashley Lukashevsky in Taking on the Plastics Crisis.
