Donate still fresh food for free to the Hungry

1. grocery stores to foodbanks
2. volunteer powered
3. adapt at schools also
4. California law : wasting is illegal

Gabrielle launched it in San Diego at age 12. By age 16, she had 4,000 volunteers, evoking a 10-fold rise of fresh foods to foodbanks.

Foodbanks only received highly processed canned and boxed foods low in nutrition. Grocery store owners feared getting sued over brown spots on fruits. Gabrielle informed them that the ‘Good Samaritan Act’ freed them from liability.

Turn used restaurant oils into Bio-Fuel

1. public disposal stations
2. law : wasting is illegal
3. collect, turn into biofuel

At age 12, Cassandra and her 5th grade friends started TGIF. Soon, 150 restaurants joined the program. They have generated $150,000 of biofuel for needy families.

Politicians had tried for years without success 

Pass the 3-pronged “Blue Community” Resolution

1. KEEP WATER PUBLIC
2. MAKE IT A HUMAN RIGHT
3. BAN BOTTLED WATER

for water stewardship at local level. At age 13, Robyn has made 27 cities turn Blue in a single year. More than two per month. Now she trains youth to do the same.

Everybody knows it’s needed. No adult organization anywhere has the backbone and balls to demand it

Shame industry, change the trade, sources and ingredients

Two 11 year olds took on Girl Scouts over palm oil causing mass deforestation, crime, human right abuse and climate change. When the NGO responded like a corporation, they turned to bakers also, and Kellogg’s shat their pants, responded instantly. So did Wilmar. Take this global now!

Organizations had tried in vain for decades

Monsanto’s Nightmare emerged as a 13 year old educated on global epidemic impact of glyphosate drenched GMO fields – causing species and biodiversity loss, superweed and superbug resistence, soil erosion, and epidemic rise of birth defects – malformations that make you throw up – in Argentina’s soil cultivation regions. Rachel leads the way : proper, independent scientific studies, banning glyphosate and similar products, and boosting the many proven Earth-friendly forms of agriculture.

• No adult achieved proper media presence on GMOs
• Even Europeans are not aware of the scope of problems
• Now, it’s on Europe’s youth to build on her example

Chloe is the best heard voice of Divest Harvard, the icon of the global divestment movement that has made funds, cities, churches and schools withdraw more than $3,000 billion from fossil fuel investment.

This movement is led by teen and twen college students. Adults are still invisible

350,000 books and educational items for First Nations schools and communities that didn’t have any books. Schools, citizens and authors love to help.  School presentations score an average of 1 book per student, 1,000 per school worth $10,000. Their story of book drives, visits to communiteis and touching experiences told on a vibrant facebook stream makes it to the news, into classrooms, onto cereal boxes.

No adults ever made such impact, shaped positive worldview on Aboriginal kids – “our brothers and sisters” – built such bridges across historic divides.

When his friends could not afford to pay for school, 9 year old Babar started teaching them what he had learned in the morning. At 16, he had 600 students in his backyard school. At 18, one thousand. Illiterate adults volunteer. His students pass state exams and go to college. Now he has built a school. They are now teachers.

The model can be replicated globally.

Melati and Isabel see the beauty of Bali, Island of Gods, as well as the foolish pollution leading to decay. Their pure voice for restoring beauty and abundance for all unites citizens, shopkeepers and lawmakers for One Island One Voice. Thousands of people join clean-ups, model villages take action and legistation is underway. Their example inspires media, citizens, civil society, and sparks national chapters globally.

Which adult initiative has reached comparable exposure?

7 year old unschooler Coral educates kids and parents on yukky ingredients in popular foods. The information is unforgettable, lifestyle change, reading labels and shifting to good, real food is unavoidable.

Adults never pulled off anything similar or successful

Nellie’s demand to return the school’s ivory exhibit and her friends’ REBELLIOUS marches in Hong Kong made the 1st EVER NEWS COVERAGE in Chinese media, shocked citizens, and made major stores take ivory off shelves. Three months later, the government incinerated tons of confiscated ivory after decades of resistence. Next, celebrities spoke out for a ban, the government issued a moratorium on imports. Then, the “impossible” happened : the government declared closure of traditional ivory cavring factories. We know that chronologically Nellie for Ellies’ demos kicked it off. Now, the criminal smuggling must be stopped.

For decades, adults had failed to evoke any relevant moves.

When Lulu hears of a cause, she unleashes fireworks of action – putting the FUN into Fundraising – turning sleep-overs, birthdays and festivities into Philanthro-Parties, organizing marches, backyard carnivals and concerts in support of their favorite causes and charities, spiced with a sense of fun and adventure. Her message sprawls through schools, fashion and lifestyle media.

Can you think of an adult inspiring you for a lifestyle of Generosity?

$15,000 per month is Neha’s average score since age 9. Today, she has raised more than $2 millions to provide a safe home, education, IT, health coverage and job training to thousands of orphans in India. He message is irresistible and calls us to help 150 million orphans globally to lead full lives, so they will be uplifting members of our societies, as neighbours, parents, colleagues…

How many adults achieve to break the silence, the ignorance, open our hearts, hands and wallets?

When Craig learned of the fate of Iqbal, a child laborer turned activist shot at age 12, he started campaigning to end child labour, and help poor children get an education and perspective in life. He achieved policy changes, the global Rugmark seal (woven without child labor), his example inspired Free The Children student clubs in thousands of schools generating millions of dollars helping rural communities become resilient and sustainable.

Do you know of an adult who sparked thousands of student clubs? There is none.

• Which INDIGENOUS person is visible?
• Which adult is a global YOUTH role model?
• What musician inspires the fire of ACTIVISM?
• Which author inspires kids to PROTECT people and planet?

No one comes close to this TEEN. Xiuhtezcatl first took the mic at age 6, he banned pesticide use in parks, got coal ash regulated, reversed permission for fracking *in* Boulder, caused a national uproar against the oil and gas industry attacking his group of 12-year olds, his speeches at the UN are historic, he sues the U.S. government over climate change, he is all over the media, inspiring youth crews around the planet.
