Lançamento da Campanha "Proteja Nosso Ar!"

Lançamento da Campanha "Proteja Nosso Ar!" (September, 21)

Concurso de eco Pipas temáticos Earth Guardians 

Participamos do concurso global de eco pipas temáticos 

do Guardiões da Terra com 2 pipas.

Veja como foi.

Materiais utilizados:

- Bambu (3 varetas)
- Folhas de papel de seda (5 folhas)
- Água, farinha de trigo e de mandioca (para fazer a cola)
- Pó de café (para a tinta escura)
- Girassol com sementes maduras (amarrada como rabiola)

Nós fizemos dois pipas: um maior, com varetas de 1 metro de comprimento e outro menor.

Usamos materiais naturais tanto quanto possível (varetas, cola, tinta e tail que lançou sementes pelo ar).

Saímos para soltar pipa hoje, às 5:30 AM. Nós queríamos um bom vento.
Tivemos alguns problemas técnicos com a branca, mas aquela azul foi bem longe e bem alto, levando a mensagem dosGuardiões da Terra:

"Proteja Nosso Futuro! - Proteja Nosso Ar!"

--------------------------------------

"Protect Our Air!"  Campaign (September, 21)

Earth Guardians Kite

Materials used:

- Bamboo (3 sticks)
- Silk paper sheets (5 sheets)
- Water, wheat and cassava (to glue)
- Coffee Powder (for dark ink)
- Sunflower with mature seeds (tied as tail)

We did two kites: a larger one with sticks of 1 meter long and another smaller.
We use natural materials as much as possible (sticks, glue, paint and tail that launched seeds by air).
We left for kite flying today, at 5:30 AM. We wanted a good wind.
We had some technical problems with the white kite, but that blue was very far and high. Carrying the message of Earth Guardians:

"Protect Our Future! Protect Our Air!"

by EarthGuardians.Org

 
For Earth Day, Earth Guardians Brazil planted native crops in school gardens at Emeb Aura Soares in the tradition of Brazil's indigenous peoples. Pumpkins, corn, gourds, and sunflowers were among the plants that youth planted, and classes will follow the process to see these plants sprout and grow!

Following the planting, Earth Guardians continued to celebrate Indigenous April by studying three young leaders who are developing important actions in the environmental movement. 

These leaders include Jeguaka Mirim, a young writer, illustrator and indigenous rights activist as well as Itzcuauhtli and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, hip hop performers and directors of Earth Guardians. 

Brazilian youth are asking questions of these leaders and will receive responses via video that will be shown to the entire school!

"Somos todos Guardiões!"

Palavras de Xiuhtzecatl Tonathiuh, no evento "Bioneers 2014" (Pt-Br)

<< Bom dia a todos, meu nome é Xiuhtzecatl Tonathiuh. Eu sou um adolescente de 14 anos, indígena, artista de hip-hop e ativista ambiental, de Boulder, Colorado, e estou muito feliz por estar aqui hoje com todos vocês em Bioneers 2014. Então, vamos começar a apresentação de slides.

Vamos lá, tudo bem, então, novamente. Estou muito honrado por estar aqui ... Quero dedicar um instante em honra ao povo que estava nesta terra antes de nós ... e reconhecer que não fomos as primeiras pessoas nesta terra, ... mas podemos dedicar um tempo para reconhecê-los todos os dias por isso, estou fazendo isso aqui e agora para os povos indígenas da Califórnia.

Uma parte enorme de quem eu sou e do que eu faço, vem da maneira que fui criado .

Meu pai me criou na tradição asteca, e através dela eu aprendi que toda a vida é sagrada. Que todos e cada um de nós está profundamente ligado, não só uns aos outros, mas com o mundo que nos rodeia. E os problemas e as crises que enfrentamos em nosso planeta, ou que afetam nossas comunidades locais estão nos afetando por causa de nossa conexão com a Terra. E nós, como seres humanos, temos bastante poder e, assim, fomos colocados aqui para ser os guardiões da terra, e temos feito o oposto disso, especialmente desde a revolução industrial. Então, nós estamos trabalhando para reparar essa conexão com a Terra.

E então ... quando eu tinha 6 anos e dei-me conta desta conexão com o mundo em torno de mim ... reconheci o mundo em torno de mim, eu vi o documentário de Leonardo di Caprio “11ª hora”. Me vi diante da crise global ... do estado do planeta e do que o estilo de vida humana estava fazendo para o mundo que nos rodeia.

E olhando aquilo como uma criança de seis anos que eu era, me apavorei. Porque eu vi que o meu mundo, o mundo com o qual a minha geração ficaria, estava entrando em colapso. Eu vi o aumento dos níveis de carbono impactando comunidades ao redor do planeta e eu chorei naquela noite.

E fiquei arrasado, porque a minha própria cidade natal, a minha própria comunidade foi afetada pelo impacto do aumento dos níveis de CO2, pelo aumento dos níveis de metano e gases de efeito estufa. Colorado sofreu o maior incêndio que já vimos na nossa história, no mesmo trimestre sofremos nossas maiores inundações. Estamos vendo inundações onde nunca vimos enchentes. Estamos vendo incêndios e secas, onde nunca vimos incêndios e secas. Não é apenas sobre o aquecimento global mais, é sobre mudanças de padrões climáticos. Locais quentes estão ficando frios, lugares frios estão ficando quentes. Os seres humanos estão sendo deslocados ao redor do planeta, por causa de tufões, tornados, furacões, destruição em massa. Esta é uma questão de direitos humanos!

E é a questão definitiva de nossa época. Porque depois que eu vi aquele documentário eu percebi que posso fazer uma das duas coisas. Uma delas, eu posso sentar de braços cruzados enquanto o mundo ao meu redor, o meu mundo, entra em colapso, porque muita gente diz: "Esta geração é o futuro". Mas a verdade é que estamos aqui agora. Nós somos o presente, então eu decidi que iria agir, eu decidi me engajar e logo depois iniciei uma organização chamada “Guardiões da Terra”. Eu sou o diretor de jovens desta organização e estamos trabalhando nas comunidades para proteger a terra, o ar, a água e a atmosfera. Para que a minha geração e aquelas que virão herdem um planeta saudável, seguro, sustentável e justo, por todas as gerações futuras.

E começamos a tomar medidas, começamos a discutir ações em nossas comunidades, banimos pesticidas, regulamentamos a fuligem do carvão, ajudamos a obter proibições e moratórias sobre o  fracking, e em todo o estado do Colorado nós trabalhamos na conscientização sobre a mudança climática, mostrando à juventude o poder que temos para mudar o mundo e através das mídias sociais isso se espalhou por todo o planeta - e agora temos equipes de Guardiões da Terra nos seis continentes - agindo hoje, fazendo a diferença, e levantando-se frente a algumas das maiores indústrias no mundo, porque sabemos que o nosso futuro, o nosso mundo, nossa existência é mais poderosa e mais importante do que qualquer outra coisa. E com muitas pessoas, uma outra maneira com a qual temos nos envolvido é através de processos em tribunal. Jovens de todos os 50 estados apresentaram queixa contra os nossos Estados e governo federal, exigindo-lhes ação sobre as mudanças climáticas, através da criação de planos de recuperação do clima.

R.Y.S.E. (Levante da Juventude por uma Terra Sustentável, em tradução livre) é um programa que temos posto em prática para ajudar a educar e inspirar os jovens e envolver esta nova geração de solucionadores climáticos, e para mostrar que as soluções estão aqui - agora!

Esse é o momento de começarmos a implementá-las - em nossas escolas, nas nossas casas, nas nossas comunidades. E desde o movimento dos direitos civis, a juventude tem estado na linha de frente, marchando pelo seu futuro, lutando pela sobrevivência de todo sistema vivo em nosso planeta...

Apenas algumas semanas atrás, jovens de todas as cores, inclusive  meu irmão mais novo e eu, estivemos na linha de frente da maior Marcha pelo Clima da história mundial, onde mais de 400.000 pessoas marcharam pelas ruas de Nova York. Para dizer: nós não vamos esperar por você para tomar medidas, porque temos o poder, aqui e agora!

E muitas pessoas pensam que o poder neste mundo, o poder de mudar, o poder de fazer a diferença vem de líderes políticos, de governantes, de presidentes. Mas eles estão errados.

Porque o poder neste mundo vem de nós, vem de você. Vem das pessoas nesta platéia  e das pessoas deste planeta, bem aqui e agora. Porque nós temos o poder.

E a Terra está em colapso, todo sistema vivo que vemos está alterado, os oceanos estão acidificados, nossas florestas e nossos oceanos estão desaparecendo, questões de direitors humanos estão apenas ficando pior e pior. Nosso planeta está em colapso e à luz de um mundo em colapso, qual melhor momento para nascer do que agora? Porque essa geração começa a reescrever a história, começa a deixar a nossa marca na Terra, porque vamos ser conhecidos como a geração, como as pessoas no planeta, que deram à luz um mundo saudável, justo e sustentável para todas as gerações que virão. Porque esta geração de pessoas começa a criar o renascimento, chega para co-criar e recriar esse novo mundo, da sustentabilidade, da justiça, da igualdade para todas as pessoas na Terra. E nós somos a geração da mudança, somos a Geração “Ryse”.

Obrigado!>>

Xiuhtezcatl aos 6 anos de idade

<< (…) Olá, meu nome é Xiuhtezcatl Martinez. Tenho seis anos de idade. Eu sou um menino.

Eu só quero dizer uma oração em minha própria língua.

Eu quero dar os meus agradecimentos a todos os elementos, a água, o fogo, a terra, o ar. Gostaria de agradecer por dar-nos a vida, por nos dar energia, por nos dar força.
Eu quero falar, hoje, sobre como a Terra é sagrada.

A maioria das crianças não sabe como a Terra é sagrada, é por isso que eles gastam a maior parte de seu tempo na frente da TV ou na frente de videogames.

É muito bom para os seus pais também – sair com eles para mostrar-lhes que a Mãe Terra é algo sagrado. Mostrar-lhes que a Mãe Terra está viva; ela é viva e bonita. E quando os pais não fazem isto, nós não temos uma chance.
Quando eu tinha cinco anos de idade eu queria ir para as fábricas e fechá-las com o meu irmão mais novo. Mas quando fiz seis anos percebi estávamos comprando das fábricas.
Quem está a apoiando elas? Quem está comprando seus produtos?
Há uma coisa muito boa que podemos fazer: não compra das fábricas, a fim de que possamos apoiar empresas melhores.

Há coisas simples que você pode fazer em sua própria casa. Não desperdiçar água ou desligar as luzes se você não estiver usando-as.

Ensine estas coisas aos seus filhos. Cada escolha que você faz, é a favor ou contra o nosso futuro!

(...)

Agora, quem quer fazer um futuro melhor para todos nós e para nossos filhos?

Eu não posso ouvi-lo! Sim, juntos, podemos fazê-lo! O poder da união! Obrigado!>>

RYSE: Activating the Youth-Led Climate Movement

"My name is Xiuhtezcatl Martinez and I am an indigenous eco hip hop activist and the Youth Director of Earth Guardians. 

 As a 14-year-old growing up in Colorado, I’ve seen the effects of climate change firsthand. Youth from around the world know that climate change is the defining issue of our time, and our generation will be the most affected. Many of us feel despair when it comes to dealing with climate change because we don't know where to start. We are ready to contribute to the solution, we just need the tools, confidence and momentum to get started.

 The Opportunity

Our schools are not offering us the kind of education we need to deal with the world we are going to be left with.RYSE (Rising Youth for a Sustainable Earth) a project of Earth Guardians will train young solutionaries to take a leadership role in the climate movement instead of waiting for others to lead. RYSE trainings will give youth the tools, skills and support to implement sustainable projects and transform their communities. This is an opportunity for youth to turn fear and despair about the kind of world they are inheriting into momentum and progress. Your contribution will help over 500 youth become active climate leaders.

The Vision

• Empowered young leaders will lead projects, campaigns, and collective actions that disrupt the global leadership status quo. We will prove that our generation is not interested in waiting for others to take action. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
• We will share our progress at the UN Climate Talks in Paris in December of 2015, demonstrating that we will protect our future no matter what. Our message to world leaders: JOIN US!

RYSE Councils

The RYSE Youth Council is made up of 13 exceptional youth leaders from diverse backgrounds We are still welcoming applications for the Youth Council.

The Youth Council will develop their skills as organizers, facilitators, and community leaders while working together as the principal decision makers for the RYSE movement.

The RYSE Wisdom Council is made up of 13 seasoned leaders and activists from diverse geographic, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. With experience in arts, sciences, social justice, movement-building, and climate solutions, this multifaceted council will support the youth-led shift toward a healthy, just and sustainable planet. 

Phase 1: Wildfire Training

 

In March of 2015, the impressive movement builders of the Wildfire Project will facilitate 4 days of workshops and trainings for the RYSE Youth Council. Wildfire is a democratic, front lines, action-oriented team of organizers and facilitators. They recognize times of crisis as vital opportunities for improving life on earth. They fuse political education, skills training, group development, and direct organizing. Their team leader is the global trainer for 350.org. They have supported a diverse range of social and ecological justice movements: from Tar Sands Action and PowerShift to Dream Defenders and the Divest Student Network. We’re working with some solid people.

Phase 2: RYSE and Shine

In April of 2015, Youth Council Leaders will unite to collectively carry out and lead an organized national action: RYSE and Shine. This powerful, unified action will mobilize and inspire participants in addition to jump-starting the momentum of the movement.

Phase 3: Community Solutions Activation Trainings

In Summer of 2015, RYSE Youth Council Leaders across the country will put their new skills to use and organize local trainings and events within their communities. Day 1 of their trainings will focus on analysis of key issues, organizing, and leadership strategy. Day 2 will be dedicated to collaboratively crafting a plan for climate solutions using innovative facilitation techniques to implement in their communities. 

Phase 4: Activation

Time to RYSE! Leaders and communities will put their climate solutions into action. Shovels will be in soil planting trees and gardens, solar panels will cover school rooftops, and new solar-powered lights will line park sidewalks. We anticipate ingenuity and never-before-seen solutions. Youth leaders will discover the creative, collaborative leaders within. With the tools and connections from RYSE, youth will recognize themselves as leaders, catalysts for change and a part of our greater global community.

Pledge to Be a Climate Leader

(Eat-Squat-Lee), and I am an 11-year-old indigenous eco hip-hop activist with Earth Guardians. Over the past year I’ve learned more about the urgency of our climate crisis and I worry about what kind of world my generation will be left with if we don’t cap carbon emissions and switch to clean, safe, renewable energy.
I was tired of being ignored by our world leaders, so on Oct. 27, I went on a 45-day silence strike for climate action. What came next gave me hope! I saw people all over the world joining in and pledging to be climate leaders. We’ve been waiting for our leaders to solve this problem but now I see that we are the real leaders.
This is a critical time in the global climate movement leading up to the Paris 2015 United Nation Climate Talks. Real leadership must come from us right now. Pledge below and join the global movement for a healthy, sustainable planet for us and future generations. Wear a green wrist band in solidarity with this pledge and post photos using hashtags #SilenceIntoAction and #EarthGuardians.
I will personally deliver this pledge—with a goal of 1 million signatures—with your name on it to Ban Ki-moon and other world leaders at the Paris Climate Talks in December.

>>>> Sign this Petition

http://ecowatch.com/petition/pledge-climate-leader/

>> I pledge to join or lead actions that will build momentum for a binding agreement at the Paris 2015 Climate Conference.

>> I pledge to vote with my dollars and consider the ways my personal decisions and investments demonstrate a commitment to fight climate change.

>> If I am of voting age, I pledge to vote for candidates who show, through action, a serious commitment to stopping the climate crisis.

>> I will share this pledge and my story of how I’m being a climate leader with friends and family via social media (hashtag #silenceintoaction), e-mail and in person.

Do Silêncio para a Ação (#silenceintoaction)

Itzcuauhtli, um ativista eco hip hop de 11 anos de idade, ficou em silêncio por 45 dias para exigir que os líderes mundiais tomem medidas radicais para deter as mudanças climáticas. Depois de centenas de milhares de pessoas mostrarem apoio e solidariedade, ele descobriu que os líderes do mundo real são as pessoas; os jovens de hoje e os adultos que os amam.

Ele aprendeu que nossos chamados "líderes mundiais"  apenas são nossos líderes se escolhermos ser seguidores. Se um garoto de 11 anos de idade pode inspirar as massas, ficando em silêncio, crianças e adultos em todos os lugares podem efetuar a mudança real no mundo, escolhendo  ser Líderes.

Itzcuauhtli e os Guardiões da Terra estão em uma missão para criar mais líderes climáticos. A crise climática iminente precisa que você faça a diferença em sua comunidade.

Enfrente o desafio, ajude seus amigos a encarar o desafio também, colabore, seja criativo e espalhe a liderança.

#1MilhãoDeLíderesClimáticos2015 

Comece comprometendo-se a ser um líder Climático, assinando o compromisso em SilenceIntoAction.org. Quando você faz isso, você está comprometendo-se a assumir o desafio de liderar ações climáticas e projetos em sua comunidade.

Nosso objetivo é obter 1 milhão de assinaturas ATÉ DEZEMBRO DE 2015! 

Imagine um compromisso com um milhão de assinaturas para os "líderes mundiais" nas negociações do clima da ONU em Paris -- uma promessa que representa as pessoas de todo o mundo, trabalhando em conjunto (ainda que de forma independente, em micro-soluções que são específicas para suas comunidades), entregue em mãos. Nós realmente podemos fazer o movimento crescer.

Certifique-se de incluir um endereço de e-mail válido para que possamos mantê-lo atualizado sobre o movimento!

Mostre solidariedade usando uma faixa verde em seu pulso. Quando postar fotos on-line, use a hashtag #silenceintoaction.

Vamos acompanhar de perto todos os projetos acontecendo ao redor do mundo, com formações, teleconferências e organização de ações coordenadas ao redor do globo.

Seja um Guardião da Terra. Junte-se à nossa tribo!

Amor e Paz.

After hundreds of thousands of people showed support and solidarity, he discovered that the real world leaders are the people; today's youth and the adults who love them.

He learned that our so-called world leaders are only our leaders if we decide to be followers. If an 11-year-old can inspire the masses by going silent, kids and adults everywhere can effect real change in the world by choosing to lead.

Itzcuauhtli and the Earth Guardians are on a mission to create more climate leaders. The impending climate crisis needs you to make a difference in your community.

Step up to the challenge, empower your friends to take on the challenge, collaborate, get creative, and spread the leadership.

Start by pledging to be a Climate Leader by signing the pledge at SilenceIntoAction.org. When you do this, you are committing to take on the challenge of leading climate actions and projects in your community.

OUR GOAL IS TO GET 1 MILLION SIGNATURES BY DECEMBER OF 2015! Imagine hand-delivering a pledge with 1,000,000 signatures to the "World Leaders" at the UN Climate Talks in Paris-- a pledge that represents people from all over the world working together (yet independently on micro-solutions that are specific to their communities). We really can make the movement move.

Make sure you include an accurate email address so we can keep you up to date on the movement!

Show solidarity by wearing a green band around your wrist. When you post photos online, use the hashtag #silenceintoaction

We will be keeping tabs on all the projects happening around the world, hosting trainings, having conference calls, and organizing coordinated worldwide actions.

Be an Earth Guardian. Join our Tribe.

‘We are All Indigenous to Somewhere’: Teen Talks About Cultural Reconnection

By: Xiuhtezcatl Roske-Martine (2/26/2014)

An incredibly important aspect of life that many people have neglected and even forgotten is our connection with the Earth. This loss of respect and sense of oneness with the Earth and each other is endangering our future. We are literally destroying our own life support systems by our over consumptive lifestyles that are supporting the corporate industries and fueling our climate and environmental crises.

Throughout history, the indigenous people of the world have carried a deep respect and connection for the Earth, but this connection has disappeared over time because of our changing social structures and severe oppression of the Native peoples. We used to see ourselves as a part of this natural world, a mere piece of the puzzle on this great planet, connected to the web of life. We did not conquer the Earth, but lived in balance with it, and gave back to it with ceremonies, prayers and by being guardians of our sacred lands.

Speaking as a descendant of the Aztec Mexican people of Mexico and being raised in our ceremonial ways, I have had the incredible opportunity to connect deeply with the nature and to travel to different parts of the world through my work meeting with indigenous leaders. They share stories of how they are fighting to keep their cultures alive, and pass their knowledge and wisdom to the next generation, so that their culture and their heritage will not fade away as so many others have.

In our world today, the elders’ messages often fall on deaf ears because our social system has changed and youth are not encouraged to develop a relationship with the Earth. Instead, the youth are spending hours on electronic devices, consuming drugs and alcohol and taking them further and further away from their cultures.

“Consumption in general is devastating to our culture. It is directly going against our traditional teachings of not having more than what we need,” said Gracy Horne, an organizer of the World Peace and Prayer Day runs, and daughter of Arvol Looking Horse, Indigenous spokesperson and leader. “Nobody listened to us when we were young. No one asked us how we felt about the world. I started organizing peace runs when I was 20, and people still didn’t understand why you would sacrifice for the Earth. Now, I am seeing more high school kids that are becoming active in their community and know about the effects of Fracking and know about environmentalism and are taking action.”

We are living in an age of cultural crisis where the fabric of every indigenous culture is on the brink of disappearance from the Earth forever. Our modern world and the belief systems that operate it have literally consumed our connection with each other and the Earth. Indigenous people all over the world are still being robbed and bought off of their lands, their languages, their cultures and their lives.

“There's an Indian word, ‘Tekoa,’ which is used for ‘village’ or ‘territory.’ But a better translation is ‘way of being,’” said Levi Moises, 25, a youth leader for the Earth Guardian’s in Brazil.  “For indigenous people here, the connection to the place where they live is in itself a major achievement. But modern society does not accept this, and always requires that the space be commodified, tamed, or changed to the fullest. In short, we remain pillaged. Our territory (and resources) are stolen by the state and sold to entrepreneurs.”

Roske-Martinez with Kerrianne Cox, Xavier Rudd, Luka Lesson on a panel at the Uplift Festival in Australia
In my journey to Australia in December 2013, I connected with the Aboriginal peoples, who have been natives of Australia for thousands of years. I learned that their rich and unique culture, language, and tradition came to an abrupt halt in 1788 when the British invaded Australia. Since then, hundreds of thousands were massacred to make room for the white settlers and agricultural land. Half of the Aborigine population was killed because of diseases brought by the settlers. In New South Wales, more than 8,000 Aboriginal children were taken from their families and brought to institutions and foster families where they were abused and often used as slaves. They were known as the Stolen Generation, and lost a deep connection to themselves and their heritage.

Many children that were “half castes” were taken from their homes with the belief that their brown skin could be bred out of them through relations with the white people that invaded them. That oppression still lingers in the generations that are born today.

Kerrianne Cox is a well-known Aboriginal artist and leader in the rising movement of the Native peoples of the Earth.

“Many Aboriginal youth are born into violent, fragmented families. They are not given the opportunity or the voice to restore their ancient culture. I made a choice not to live like that. I allowed my songs to be my healer, and saw how my message could touch other people. Oppression of our people has come to a critical point where we have hit rock-bottom; the only way from here is up,” she said.

“I really feel that there is a beautiful opening that is happening with the healing and restoration of our old culture. I’m seeing it across our land. The country is waking up. We might have been lost, we may have been asleep, but we are united, and they cannot break us,” said Cox.

Until we realize that we are one people, we are all connected, and we all depend on each other and the Earth for the survival of humanity, we will continue down this path of separation and disconnect. We must reconnect with our indigenous roots because no matter where we are from, or who we are, we are ALL indigenous to somewhere. And despite the injustice and oppression, the Native people are claiming their rights and taking back their land and their honor. They are defending their sacred homes, and fighting for justice and equality. The movement is building and many indigenous people will no longer stand idly by.

DO IT FOR US!

 (by Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, 21 jan, here.)

"A question that is asked so often, is "What can I do to make a difference?"

In order to make a difference, you don't have to what I have done like suing the federal government, or shutting down County Commisioner’s meetings, or giving up a lot of free time to educate your generation about our crisis, though, those are all great! To be an Earth Guardian, you don't have to go live in the woods, and hunt for animals and live without technology and electricity. I tell people all over the world, that in order to change the world, you have to start by changing yourself, and your daily habits. You have to change the way you are relating to and treating the Earth. Cut your own carbon footprint, change your own lifestyle. Make a difference in your own community.

It all starts with you, and you have to start small, then grow and grow and grow now more than ever, if our generation is going to have a chance of inheriting a healthy Earth! It starts with this:

Every Tuesday, I will be posting this list of "50 Simple Things you can do to Cut your Carbon Footprint" 

I want everyone who sees this to like it, share it, and choose something on this list that you are willing to do for this week, to make a difference and be an Earth Guardian. Whatever it is you choose on the list, post it in the comment box below. Start with one, then next week, pick something else, and the next week another thing off the list and before you know it, you will be healthier, happier, and have a MUCH smaller impact on the planet. If all 5,459 people that like this page were to commit to one thing every week, it would be making a BIG difference. What's your incentive? Your children, your nieces, nephews, cousins, and the generation that is to come. We have the power to change the fate of humanity and IT STARTS WITH YOU!

Remember to comment every week, and know, you are doing it for the generations to come... those unborn. Please Share widely! Can you imagine the impact we will have if we inspire everyone to live more lightly, we could cut our carbon output in half!

Do it for us!"

Sustainability is a life style - Not a solar panel

My name is Xiuhtezcatl Martinez and I am a 13-year-old Indigenous Environmental Activist. I have been speaking out about our environmental and climate crisis since I was six years old. I am the executive youth director of a nonprofit organization called Earth Guardians. We are committed to protecting the Earth, the water, the air, and the future of the children. Through Earth Guardians I am working to mobilize my generation, the “Change Generation,” to work together on behalf of leaving a healthy, just, sustainable world for ours and future generations. We now have Earth Guardian hubs all over the globe and our movement is growing.

I live in Boulder, Colorado, and in the last week I have been personally experiencing the extremes of our changing climate with severe flooding because of crazy weather patterns above our state. NOAA, our scientific center that sits up on the mountain above Boulder, reported that the storm we have been experiencing could be a 500 or 1000 year storm because this much rainfall in this short of a period has never been recorded in the history of Colorado. They shared an image from space that showed an unusual weather pattern above our state that was spiraling in two different directions, one pulling moisture from the Gulf Coast and the other pulling moisture from up North, colliding into this fierce storm we are now experiencing.

Seeing the magnitude, the destruction, the death and the damage from this unusual storm is a clear indication that something is off balance with our changing world, because of our changing climate!

Some people think Climate Change is something that is far away on the other side of the world, but truthfully it is something that is in all of our back yards! People don't see that we are all connected and that what happens far away in the world affects us all because we all share the same Earth. As our climate continues to warm and glaciers melt at unprecedented rates, oceans are acidifying and rising, small islands are starting to disappear, weather patterns are changing, and many of us just go on and on, blind to the future we are creating and leaving for future children.

A lot of people relate sustainability to things like alternative energy, solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal, but I believe that true sustainability is the way we live our lives each and every day. It is a way of life.

We have to change our life styles so we are not relying so much on any source of energy. We have to change the fundamental beliefs of our entire society and shift towards a life style of simplicity where we don’t need as many material things, the biggest house, and more than one car to feel successful. This mindset has put us in the greatest man-made disaster in human history—our ecological and climate crisis. One of the biggest problems is that our generation is being taught to live the same way and make the same mistakes. We aren’t being educated to walk lightly and respect the Earth. Our disconnection from the Earth and our life styles are destroying our own life support systems.

Clean renewable energy is a great alternative to fossil fuels but as long as we continue with the same mindset of taking more and more we are always going to need more and more energy whether it comes from sustainable energy sources or fossil fuels. Something many people don’t think about is the amount of resources it will take, and the destruction it will cause, to put a sustainable energy infrastructure into place. By building more solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal plants, we will still be taking more from the Earth than we are giving back! We can not continue living life as if there are endless resources.

Many people are waking up and realizing this crisis that we are in, but is it enough and will it be in time? Youth are rising up all over the planet to meet the challenges we face as the next generation that will inherit this beautiful planet. We have the power to inspire and create a movement towards building a sustainable, healthy, and just world. Together we can change the fundamental beliefs of our entire society and learn to live more lightly on our sacred earth.
