YOUNG OCEAN HERO SPOT LIGHT
Cash is encouraging other “cleanup kids” to pick up one million pounds across the globe before the end of 2022, a goal they’re on track to meet, with people signing up on the web site and logging their cleanups. He also re cently made it into the top five of Time Maga zine’s Kid of the Year awards, now acting as a Time for Kids reporter, won Tennessee Wild life Federation Youth Conservationist of the Year three times, and has already published a book “One Small Piece,” sharing his own con servation journey.
Howvorite.do
you live in harmony with nature every day?
I just love being outside in nature and enjoying our world. We need more kids to fall in love with plants, animals, and water. These are things we cannot live without. Every breath we take is from the ocean and partly from land. Our planet needs to be taken care of or it can’t take care of us.
Cash Daniels (aka The Conservation Kid) is a 12-year-old conservationist based in Chat tanooga, Tennessee. Finding a passion for wildlife when he was only three, in 2021 he co-founded a club called the Cleanup Kids with his best friend, Ella Grace. Together, they are on a mission to remove trash from the ocean and rivers across the country. “We want to inspire kids all around the world to just start simple and make a difference for the planet in their own way,” he says.
We are over halfway there, close to 600,000 pieces as of now. People can sign up on our website and when they become a cleanup kid they can log their cleanup(s). We ask what brands were found, how many pieces, and where.
You're encouraging kids to collectively pick up one million pounds across the globe before the end of 2022. How's that goal going? How are you keeping track?
How would you encourage future youth activists to get started?

After that goal, what's the next one you'll be working towards?
I do a lot of work with removing fish ing lines from our waterways and have 40 monofilament recycling receptacles placed in 7 state parks now so my next personal goal is to work with nation al parks. Ella and I are also working on pollinator gardens as well as recycling efforts, primarily focused on aluminum.
I always encourage kids to start small be cause if we start a ripple of change it can turn into a tidal wave. Kids can change the world, don’t be afraid to prove some people wrong along the way if they don’t think your voice matters.

AN INTERVIEW WITH SIERRA QUITIQUIT & DIEGO ARREOLA FERNÀNDEZ
How did you notice, as a professional skier, that climate change was affecting your community?
For sure, Diego! I was born in Park City Utah. I love to cook and just be in nature. In fact, today I had a beautiful walk in the sunshine. I also enjoy touching plants, playing with pup pies, skateboarding, and doing my passion which is skiing. I got into sustainability precisely through skiing, which has been a family thing since I was a little girl. My grandfather, who was Filipino learned how to ski while serving in the U.S. Navy in Alaska. He then taught my father, who finally passed on the torch to me.
That is beautiful! Can you share with us now how your journey as a changemaker began?
My hometown, Park City, Utah, has been a big snow sports community. We would host the World Cup Opening, which brought millions of dollars in revenue to my community. Our ski season would last from November to April, but over 10 years, it undeniably started to change. There was never any snow on Halloween anymore, we were not able to host the World Cup Opening, and not even open the resort by Thanksgiving. The tourists that came for Christmas would not see snowpacks covering the resort. This not only leads to the decline of my passion, which is skiing, but also causes eco nomic loss as it affects tourism, job creation, and recreation altogether. Our whole ecosystem is being disrupted.
According to NASA, global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment today. Some of these include sea-level rise, endangered species, droughts, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and of course, rise in global temperatures. As a result, glaciers on our planet’s poles are melting, and snowpack across the world has started to decline. This undeniable truth, that human-induced climate change is present and getting worse, is supported by thou sands of witnesses across the world that have suffered the gradual changes in their regions. It’s also been evident in the snowsports community.

Hi Sierra, thanks for joining us. Can you briefly tell us a bit about yourself?
Sierra Quitiquit is a professional skier, surfer, skater, model, and international activist raising awareness of the effects of climate change on her athletic community, joining multiple athletes to turn the tide against this crisis. Sierra recently took part in NATO’s Protect The Futures Campaign in Brussels and has been educating people on environmental topics, fighting for women's rights, promoting policy solutions, and leading national campaigns for reducing our plastic consumption for years.
Braving the Slopes
When I was young I used to see tons of snow very early in the year. Unfortunately, over the years I realized that our snow pack began to decline very gravely with global warming and rising temperatures. I noticed that what the world was saying about these crises was far from the reality that I was witness ing. I felt that it was my duty to help people understand how rapidly and severely climate change was happening. That is how I started my first nonprofit organization when I was 18 years old, the same age as you, and it was called Gears Against Global Warming. I have been an environmental activist since then, and I really enjoy finding communities of like-minded people that care about the natural world as much as I do.
We’ve lived in the age of the patriarch for so many centuries, and we’ve seen where that’s gotten us. I agree that there is a necessary strength in masculinity that is so necessary for our society, but if you look at the feminine energy, we are inherently nurturing. We bring softness to this world, as we inherently think of the next generations and want to create a sustainable future for all of us. I think that the future is equal. We need both the masculine and feminine energies living in balance. For me, that’s what feminism is. It’s neither the patriarch nor the matriarch dominating, but both living in respect and synergy together.

It is so important that we exercise our right to vote. That is our voice. In that way, we can say our will, and what we would like to see projected into our futures. You don’t need to be an expert on every bill or candidate. It’s enough with knowing what is the most important matter for you and choosing those who think the same as you. For me, the most important issue is climate change, so in every election, I make sure I vote for the candidate that is the best climate champion out there. You can get further involved by getting in touch with your representa tives. It might be easy to think that we are small or that our voices don’t matter, but they do.
This is a space just for YOU. You can do anything you want with these pages, but here are some ideas to help you get started:
What similarities are there between being a skier and being an environmental activist? How has training for one prepared you for the other?
I started it almost three years ago alongside Meg Haywood Sullivan to give everyday people the opportunity to take that toe into activism themselves. I wanted to empower individu als to take a stance as environmentalists through the act of refusing single-use plastics. People were challenged then to go one day per week refusing single-use plastics, creating a habit that could be perpetuated for the rest of their lives, learning about consumer choice, how they could vote with their dollars, and saving some money in the process. If you want to join us you can follow Plastic Free Fridays on Instagram and pledge to join the movement.
There’s a say in the skiers' community that you need to be very tough to practice the sport. It is cold, and you need to deal with the elements and the wind all the time. We learn how to turn our faces into the wind instead of shying away from it, and I think that is the mentality that we need to fight climate change. The transformation that is needed won’t come easy. We need strength and resilience to promote a harmo nious life with Mother Nature, especially since this is a long journey for us, and future generations.
How can people start influencing decision-making to actually create tangible change in their community or country?
21 Illustrated by Livia Fălcaru
Tell us about Plastic Free Fridays, the organization that you c-founded. What was your goal or vision?
You had a conversation with outstanding female role models like Greta Thunberg, Malala Yousafzai, and Emma Watson. I wonder how you see both the feminist and climate movements coming together to accomplish transcendental change in both spheres?
How can different stakeholders and communities work together to fight these issues?
I think right now it is very important as environmentalists and activists that we understand that climate change is a global problem and it does unite us all. There is a lot of talk about intersectionality, especially with environmental, social, and ra cial justice coming together. If you look at all of these different issues, you see how they are connected and collide because climate change affects the poorest sectors of society. People that have been affected by racial discrimination are the most likely to be underserved and more vulnerable to air pollution and the effects of climate change. So I think it’s really import ant that we realize how these are affecting our brothers and sisters around the globe. We have to get into the mindset of global thinking and seeing nature as a global system.

Oluwaseyi Moejoh: That’s very similar to my story. So what does “only one earth” mean to you and how do you live out this ethos daily?
Oluwaseyi Moejoh: Tackling an issue like plastic pollution can be very overwhelming. How do you stay optimistic through this
Oluwaseyi Moejoh: Can you tell us your Green story — that defining moment that aligned you to a path in sustainability?
Oluwaseyi Moejoh: What would be your advice to your younger self?
Adrian Grenier: I believe that all of the environ mental challenges are aspects of the same dysfunc tion in our society. They are not different from each other. We really need to find spiritual growth in how we relate to each other, the world, and materialism. We have all been conditioned, having a default training in consumerism, indulgence, and comfort. We want things fast and immediate — a world where everything is super convenient. It is not about what's happening out in the world. It is about what is happening in the inner world.
Adrian Grenier: Being an actor has been quite contrary to my environmental work. People in the industry don’t necessarily want to know about your stance on the environment. There was a time I tried to make our set more environmentally friendly, and I met a lot of resistance because the changes would have been a financial burden on the limited budget of the production team. I look at acting as a perfor mance that does not always square with the reali ties. In my environmental work, I have had to get really clear about what is possible and work within those limitations.
journey? What practical tips can you offer to young people working to tackle this issue through innovations?
Oluwaseyi Moejoh: We need to see ourselves as global citizens in our local spaces. You are the Co-founder of Lonely Whale, can you tell me how and why you wanted to create this organization?
Adrian Grenier: One thing I take very much to heart is the idea that self-care is Earth care. In order to help the environment, you gotta help yourself. If you are operating from the highest state of strength and potential, you are doing a great service to not only nature and humankind but the Earth. So take care of yourself. It’s like on the airplane, put a mask on yourself before you try and help others take care of yourself. You are a vital detail and an important part of the whole. You embodying that change as a healthy, beautiful, and resilient you is a contribution that is invaluable.

different but integrated into nature. So I speak from the identity of an emergent being from nature. This informs how I shape my life, lifestyle, and work. Not because I am unique or special, but because I'm part of nature, the whole collective.
Oluwaseyi Moejoh: You’re also a UN Goodwill Ambassador and it's beautiful to see how you've built your life around sustainability. What does it mean to you to give Earth a voice?
Adrian Grenier: If you close your eyes and just spend some time in nature, you start to recognize the unique voices from the different elements all working in harmony. If you are sensitive enough, you can hear the chorus of unique voices. I try to place myself as part of that concert, where my voice is not
Adrian Grenier: When I founded Lonely whale, there was very little work and awareness about the oceans. The oceans were this abstract, distant entity that was not relatable. Most people don’t experience the ocean on a daily basis. They can understand climate because they experience it every day but oceans were a far greater communication challenge that I wanted to tackle. So that is how it started.
Adrian Grenier: In my late teens, I started to look around the world beyond myself. I realized I wanted to create meaning and have a place in the world. I moved to Brooklyn and started seeing a lot more waste. I wanted to do something about it so that is when I started my environmental work really trying to clean up my neighborhood.
Adrian Grenier: I stay optimistic by remaining curious and recognizing that there is so much that I don’t know and that I want to learn. I think about where I was 20 years ago, and how arrogant I was as a youngster to think I knew it all. There is some thing quite arrogant about cynicism. It is sort of this absolute dogmatic knowing that things are terrible, stuck in a state of despair, which is self-fulfilling. Now, I remain open and curious about what is possible and what I don’t know. I remain optimistic with an element of faith in knowing that I am part of something bigger — all of nature. Nature knows how to heal itself and if we listen to the nature within us that natural part of ourselves, we know what to do. We know how to heal.

Oluwaseyi Moejoh: On a personal level, how does being an actor inform your involvement in conservation, and how does your conservation work inform your acting?
Adrian Grenier: Well, my perspectives have changed dramatically over time. You begin to have that awareness of a borderless planet because nature knows no boundaries; it is interconnected. The plastic thrown in the ocean here washes up on the shore over there. This means that positive actions can also have a ripple effect environmentally, socially, and conscientiously. We are connected and we have not only a challenge but an opportunity to make the world a better place by making changes personally and locally.
Oluwaseyi Moejoh: How can we address the intersections between the pressing global issues?

We live in an age where we are constantly reminded about our current political climate. You open your phones or turn on the TVs and politics is splattered across the screen and yet almost one-quarter of the population in America is not old enough to vote yet. It is draining to watch it all unfold; I know I personally feel disheartened and helpless at times. It feels like only the few select people in Washington DC can have the last word and we can merely ob serve. But that’s okay because politics, doesn’t impact you – right?
Politics, whether you like it or not, impacts our daily lives. This became abundantly clear re cently with the Roe v. Wade overruling changing thousands of lives across the country over night. Issues like immigration, guns, inflation, jobs, infrastructure, and various social justice causes are alternating in the media because it impacts so many of us. With these issues and more fighting for our attention, we often don’t hear about environmentally-focused bills. How -
The Importance of Local Policy
The Power of Political Organizing
There are also some important bills that are currently in the works. This is where we come in. There are many stages that bills go through before becoming law. In a quick nutshell, they need to pass the house, senate, and be signed by the president. To ensure that happens, we can put pressure on local politicians to act. This can be in many different forms, including calling their office, writing letters, sharing on social media, and tagging them. The most im pactful however is meeting with them. While it isn’t always possible to meet with federal rep resentatives, you can meet with state and local politicians to share your views and proposals, or you can speak at open-floor hearings and pitch your cause.
With the amount of news and media cover age, you would assume legislation only comes from Washington DC but the policies that have the biggest impact on us occur statewide and locally. Despite the bad news, we also have had some big wins in the past few years to better protect our planet. Some examples include Protect and Restore America's Estuaries Act and the Save our Seas 2.0 Act passed in 2020 to protect our at-risk waters.
ever, those have a dramatic impact on our ecosystems and all of our livelihoods.
Staples such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act have both regulated and protected the natural systems that give us life for over 50 years. Lesser-known legislation like the Ocean Dumping Act, Pollution Prevention Act, and Superfund Act better protect our planet by limiting pollution and providing resources for healthier ecosystems. While these all are huge steps towards better protecting us environmentally, we still have a long way to go.
Getting Started
How we can do more than just go to the polls in November.
In order to get started, we all have to work on not being intimidated by the process. After all, politicians are people just like you and me. They want to hear from their constituents and it’s their job to represent us not the other way around. The best way to begin is to find out who your representatives are and to contact them to share your views on your choice of legislation over email or phone. ‘Pitch’ the bill the best you can. They want to hear from you on why this bill is important out of the hundreds of bills that are introduced each
The all-consuming and mostly dreadful news cycle can make it seem like the world is ending and there is nothing we can do unless you are in a position of power or rich – or both. While that's partially true, those people account for only a tiny fraction of the population. We have power in numbers, so we can help influence or encourage them to act on behalf of the people. The question then becomes how to do so.

And my personal favorite: the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act. This bill addresses t he many problem areas of the consequences of plastic pollution and how we can prevent it in the f irst place. It will ensure plastic producers are f inancially responsible for waste management, invest in domestic and legitimate recycling and compositing infrastructure, phase out certain types of single-use plastics, and more.
Bills to Have Your Eye On
f ederal law to ensure t hat polluters are held accountable.
Similarly, the Build Green Act focuses on green infrastructure suc h as electric public transpor t and provides more jobs.
There are already a number of promising federal bills that are introduced in the US that you can contact your federal representatives on. Since each state has its own bills and legislation specific to where you live, you can research to learn more about what bills are being addressed in your state and contact your state reps on those.
When reaching out to your local representatives, you want to always have a clear call to action. Ask yourself, what am I asking them to do? Even if they don’t agree with you, hearing from you will plant that seed and the more people they hear from in support of it might be enough to demand them to act.

The Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting ocean/coastal restoration to increase carbon storage.
Tips for Getting Out There
The End Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies Act includes specifics on how we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and diminish the cost disparities between renewable and non-renewable energy.
The infamous Green New Deal designates government funding to invest in climate-prepared and climate-fr iendly infrastructure while creating green jobs.
Where you can, stay engaged and informed on what environmental bills are moving in your area or nationally. Social media is a great tool for that (but make sure to verify the information you find). A great example to motivate you comes from the recent lobby day for World Oceans Week. This past summer, passionate ocean-loving activists met with approximately 50 representatives to ask for their support on the bill. When the activist first began, they were told that the bill wouldn’t be scheduled for a hearing due to other current events taking priority. After their meetings, there was enough pressure from elected officials that they scheduled a committee hearing.
It’s also important to remember that you don’t have to do it alone. Bring friends and family or join a political action group that focuses on environmental issues that resonate with you. There is so much power when we come togeth er. By choosing to be more proactive in envi ronmental legislation as little as 10 minutes a week, we would have a lasting impact.
