YOU have the power to change the world?

Elizabeth Rusch says: “Many people say that kids are our future. Some people mean that the world will be better when you grow up and run our schools, governments, families, and businesses. That’s probably true, but I know we don’t have to wait that long. Kids like you are bringing us a better world right now. And you can, too!”

More about Generation Fix: Read the inspiring true stories of more than 15 young activists who overcome daunting obstacles to work for a more perfect world. These ordinary kids have done extraordinary things: They have collected more than 5,000 boxes of cereal for food pantries, recycled 30,000 gallons of oil, raised a quarter of a million dollars to buy school supplies for needy kids, invented a sensor to better control acid rain, and marched with picket signs to stop violence. One even rode a lawnmower across the country to raise awareness of organ donation.
