ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Youth Climate Movement

The youth climate movement is made up of young people who are worried about the planet and want to do something to help. Do you remember when you learned about how the planet has things like trees, animals, and oceans? Well, those things are really important because they help keep our planet healthy and able to give us things like clean air and water. But some things, like burning too much gas and oil or cutting down too many trees, are hurting the planet and making it harder for those important things to keep doing their job.

That's where the youth climate movement comes in. Young people are getting together and speaking up to say that we need to take better care of the planet. They want grown-ups to stop using so much gas and oil and to start using cleaner ways to get energy, like the sun and the wind. They want to protect the trees and oceans so they can keep doing their job of keeping the planet healthy. These young people are coming up with really cool ideas, like riding bikes instead of cars, using less plastic, and recycling more, so that they can help the planet stay healthy for a long time.

And the best part? Anyone can join the youth climate movement and help make a difference!
