Feeling frustrated that the government isn't paying attention to climate change? One 16-year-old had an interesting solution. He decided to sue the US government for failing to provide a safe and healthy planet for future generations.
"Our parents' and grandparents' generation have created a problem. They've developed a society that depends on burning fossil fuels, like coal and oil, to survive. They never realized that there were any huge consequences to running our lives with fossil fuels. But now, we do."
Starting on Mother's Day weekend, he is calling for youth to rise up and show support by marching in a series of marches.
