Our Youth Speak Up

About This Collection

Let's hear from our children, and their advocates, on the social, environmental, cultural, and economic concerns around sustainability and the call to always act responsibly and with the next seven generations in mind. The collection will also feature, from time to time, adults who are speaking on behalf of children.

2017 BYA Mercedes Thompson and Claire Wayner speech
November 29, 2017

Mercedes Thompson and Claire Wayner were honored at the 2017 Brower Youth Awards for their dedicated environmental work in Baltimore. Beginning as young students, they focused on the critical issue of trash, advocating for the understanding that there is "no 'away'" for waste.

Their impactful efforts specifically targeted Styrofoam, a toxic pollutant. Through their initiatives, they successfully influenced their schools, the city, and the state, raising awareness and promoting solutions.
