CHALLENGE TOPIC

Planet Stewardship

Option 1:
How can we protect our natural resources and the rights of the world’s citizens to live equitably?

Option 2:
How do we build a more environmentally just world?

Example questions:

To answer either question, identify what needs fixing and show us how you or someone you know is making or can make a positive impact. Then reveal how others can follow your lead.

An example is Paper for Water. Started by Isabelle and Katherine Kei Adams when they were 7 and 9 years old. These sisters saw a need and today at 14 and 16 they have created over 200 water projects in over 20 countries.
