Ecokids November 6, 2010

'Ecokids,' a project of SEA (Social Environmental Aesthetics), is an exhibition that showcases the work of outstanding youth activists who are working to raise awareness and solve environmental issues. 'Ecokids' demonstrates that youth movements are leading the call for positive action on environmental challenges. From student-run organic farms to climate change awareness campaigns, the youth organizations featured in 'Ecokids' are based in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Tennessee, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Costa Rica, Germany, Canada and Indonesia. Through the exhibition, workshops and partnerships with school groups and teaching artists, Exit Art provides a public platform for the presentation of youth environmental organizations, projects, and initiatives. Founded by youth activists from elementary to high school age, these "eco-kids" demonstrate that children have the ability to solve environmental issues in the present, andnot simply the future.
