|
We recap an unprecedented year of growth and accomplishment for the Teens Turning Green Campaign, its membership and new chapters. Through national outreach events, powerful legislative advocacy in state capitols and educational forums, we have engaged thousands of teens, teachers and community members and activated them protecting their right to health. TTG has been in the New York Times, Seventeen Magazine, Teen Vogue, Boho, the SF Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, New York Post, CNN and many other local and national news outlets and blogs. Campaign members have presented at and moderated national conferences, launched the Teens Turning Green Collection of eco products with Whole Foods Market nationally, partnered with businesses, political leaders, schools, and youth organizations and been awarded for this work. In our mind, Teens Turning Green is the most powerful teen led campaign on the planet.
