About This Lesson
A toolkit that is comprised of big and small actions youth can take to advance environmental and climate justice.
Updated for 2023:
One solution to combating environmental injustice, including climate change, is by creating a new generation of leaders. The 10,000 Steps to Environmental and Climate Justice Project builds on existing the strengths and passion of young people to advance social change in their communities, while allowing them to advocate for the three NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Program objectives to reduce harmful emissions, advance energy efficiency and clean energy, and improve community livability and resilience.
As part of the project, each Youth Council/College Chapter commits to earning 10,000 steps throughout the school year (September – May) by participating in activities that will advance the goals of environmental and climate justice.
There are three ways to get to the 10,000 step goal: you can walk, run, or sprint. But by all means keep on moving!!
