What can kids do to help combat climate change?

Find out from Alec Loorz, a 14-year-old from Ventura, California. He’s speaking at 1 PM on Tuesday April 14th, in the Museum's first-floor Kaufman Theater.

After watching Al Gore’s movie, “An Inconvenient Truth,” Alec became an impassioned environmentalist. Convinced that he and his peers could make a difference, he founded Kids vs. Global Warming. This youth-led non-profit organization educates other kids about climate change, and teaches them how to speak up and take action. In this talk, Alec will share his message and suggest ways for kids and families to get involved in protecting the environment. A question-and-answer session will follow. It's free with Museum admission.

Last October Al Gore invited Alec to be formally trained with The Climate Project; he is now their youngest U.S.-trained presenter. On the heels of his Museum presentation, Alec will be speaking at the United Nations “Global Partners for Global Solutions” conference on April 15th.
