Teens Turning Green  is a non-profit organization devoted to education and advocacy around environmentally and socially responsible choices for individuals, schools, and communities. This student-led movement seeks to promote global sustainability by identifying and eliminating toxic exposures that permeate our lives, often unknowingly, yet threaten public and environmental health. What began around a kitchen table in the Bay Area in 2005 now has a presence at numerous elementary, middle and high schools, universities, and student organizations across the country, as well as a strong virtual platform and media presence. The TTG chapters lead grassroots efforts that aim to raise awareness and work to lessen local and global impact. All of this work furthers a (not-so-simple) mission: to inspire a generation of conscious citizens and bring about universal global health for the environment and its inhabitants.
