"For the third year, Youth Speaks teams up with Robert Redford and the Sundance Preserve to present a national spoken word forum on Global Warming. Hosted at the Kennedy Center, this event has been an absolute highlight in the campaign to increase awareness of this critical issue. Featuring poets 13-25 years old from across the United States, this program will select 5 representatives to represent Sundance and Youth Speaks at numerous forums across the globe. Past winners have been featured at a number of events, performing for mayors, members of congress, and even past presidents, bringing down the house each time. There is no better way to hear the unique perspective young people of color bring to the table about Global Warming and how industrial pollution, environmental injustice, and unhealthy, non-green communities effect people in their daily lives."


I just attended this and you can watch this performance on this site. It was one of the most moving things I've seen about the environment for a long time. These young poets express themselves in a way that took my breath away.
