Creating media that matters for teens and their family, GreenMyParents is a revolutionary, nationwide program to help young people teach their peers and parents how to work together to help the economy, earn money at home, and save the planet through simple, everyday actions. Launched on Earth Day 2010, this movement enables youth to bring their insightful perspective on how to reduce their parents’ use of resources and save money at home to make a huge difference in saving the planet and securing their future. Starting with 100 youth, champions like - Jordan Howard and Adora Svitak – who are recruiting 100 kids each, and training them to do the same, we intend to save over $100 Million in less than one year from Earth Day 2010 to Earth Day 2011. Based on a new book titled “GreenMyParents,” a widespread twitter, facebook and social media campaign, and youth hosted public “workshops” across the country, this movement enables youth to bring their insightful perspective on how to reduce their parents use of resources, and save money at home to make a huge difference to save the planet and secure their future. GreenMyparents is working with dozens of great organizations including National Wildlife Federation publisher of Ranger Rick Magazine, Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR Program, Carbonfund.org, Environmental Media Association, Earth Echo, Alliance for Climate Education (ACE,) Kiva.Org, DonorsChoose.org, Kids vs. Global Warming, Green Youth Movement (GYM), Teens Turning Green, SlowFoodUSA, ProjectSprout, Rise Above Plastics, Plastic Pollution Coalition, Green Charter Schools Network, Environmental Charter High School, Green Ambassadors, and many others.
