Bay Area Educators Inspire Youth to "Grind for the Green"

Posted by Ben Cushing on July 19th, 2010

At a recent Tedx Event in Denver, Zakiya Harris, founder of Oakland's Grind for the Green, and Pandora Thomas, from San Francisco's Global Exchange, spoke about their vision for engaging young people of color with the growing environmental movement. Integrating their own experiences as educators and environmentalists, the two Bay Area activists shared their ideas for how to integrate popular culture and new media as a way of informing youth about issues of environmental justice, and how they can take action in their own communities. Watch their inspiring talk below, and be sure to check out Grind for the Green to learn more!
