Last year, Dejah Powell founded Get Them to the Green (G2G) to foster environmental passion among Chicago youth, especially youth of color. G2G's first initiative was a summer camp, engaging 14 young people in environmental justice, sustainability, and food agriculture.

G2G has since partnered with Gardenneers to build a school garden at Powell’s elementary school, providing hands-on outdoor education. The organization also conducts environmental education workshops throughout the city.

Now a Cornell senior, Powell believes understanding environmental problems is key to solving them. She hopes urban environmental education will improve eco-literacy and help under-resourced communities access vital local and global conversations.

The planet faces critical challenges in the next 10-20 years due to climate breakdown, with critical systems on the verge of failure. Young people must decide whether to plan their lives based on endless growth and consumerism, or lead a movement to adapt to changing conditions. What role will AI play in our future?

Former NASA engineer Tom Riley, author of climate detective novels, Paul Beckwith, and host Dale Walkonen explore how stories can inspire necessary and ethical action. Tom Riley's latest novel, *Dark Heat*, is available on Amazon.
