Voices from younger generations are getting louder in the climate fight.
Nicki Becker, 20, raises awareness in her country
Along with some friends, Becker founded Jovenes Por El Clima, which translates to"Youth For The Climate," the first nonprofit organization in Argentina that educates young people on the effects of the climate crisis. She does not know what the future holds for her career, but she's certain it will involve continuing to fight the climate crisis, she said.
"Ever since I can remember, our relationship to the Earth was a very important lesson to be learned," they told ABC News."Everything that we do, as Indigenous people, is centered around this reciprocal relationship that we have with [Earth]." "This Earth is calling to you to defend her," they said."And each and every one of us must answer that call."
The group has marched 400 miles along the Gulf of Mexico to highlight the climate disaster, she said. They once were arrested on Sen. Ted Cruz's lawn, she added. Morris, who lives in Southern California, often faces resistance when raising awareness from people he speaks to at congregations, especially from conservative evangelical Christians, he said. He believes it is important to level with the climate deniers he meets at church on terms they may understand, whether by quoting scripture or by connecting with them based on the Christian values they share.
