In 2019,the state of California was on fire.Alexandria Villaseor,who was 13 at the time,witnessed the destruction of Northern California's Camp Fire,which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land.Villaseor was scared. "That's when I found out how important climate education was," she reflected. "And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years."
Villaseor,at the age of 15,was determined to have a bigger conversation.She quickly realized the fight requires international,government-level changes.For her,what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations' New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education.She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters,begging for the world's leaders to take climate change seriously.
Her action received national attention,with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. "It's completely unacceptable not to learn anything about our planet and our environment in school,after all the young people would inherit the Earth." Villaseor said, "That's why I think that climate education is so important,and that's why I focus a lot on it now."
Right now,Villaseor is working with the American Administration on its climate plan,which has promised to center on the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change.She even spoke at the 2021 Democratic National Convention. "This was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists." Villaseor said.
When she isn't connecting with her fellow youth activists,Villaseor is like most other teens. "My favorite thing to do,of course,is sleep," she said, "I like to read a lot.I like fantasy books,normally.I also like to write."
