Inspiring Champions for the Environment

August 21, 2015

Jeanie, a 12-year-old member of a Boys & Girls Club in upstate New York, has an important question for all of us.


“I would want to live in a healthy community, wouldn’t you?” she asks with a smile.


Jeanie is one of the more than 1,000 kids age 11 to 13 who participated in the Samsung Climate Superstars Challenge from March through April. The first contest of its kind, this two-month program was designed to motivate young people to take actions that help protect the environment and raise awareness about climate change.
