Teens Turning Green is a student led movement devoted to education and advocacy around environmentally and socially responsible choices for individuals, schools, and communities. TTG seeks to promote global sustainability by identifying and eliminating toxic exposures that permeate our lives and threaten public and environmental health.
What began in the Bay Area in 2005 now has a presence at 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, encourage behavior change, and lobby for policy that will lessen local and global impact.

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.
