Innovation through young minds

As a growing trend, the importance of being eco-friendly continues to remind people to use and reuse to save the environment.

Today, not only are adults aware of the benefits of being eco-friendly, children of America have taken on the responsibility of saving the environment. As reported in the LA Times, environmental groups are finding a rise in youth participation. Children are volunteering to clean our beach shores, recycling daily, trying to reuse what they already have urging others to conserve energy with them. Children understand the importance of a simple lifestyle by using nature's best to prevent toxicans and pollution to get into our air.

"This generation of kids seems to be hard-wired for environmental awareness," Leah Schmalz,the group's legislative and legal affairs director, told LA Times, as the growing number of children are contributing to learning and saving the environment. It is impressive to see the decisions children make on their own and the time they are taking out to be a part of the eco-friendly movement.
