Show Notes

April is Earth Month and it is my absolute pleasure to kick it off with this delightful conversation with 14-year-old Cash from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Cash is an award-winning river and ocean conservationist and was named a top 5 Time Magazine Kid of the Year, and his platform is called, appropriately, The Conservation Kid. He cofounded an organization called The CleanUp Kids that engages young people all over the country in the important work of cleaning up our beaches and riverbanks. Cash's passion for the environment was sparked when he was only 7 years old. Once again, I am just blown away by the young people whose care and concern for our planet is sparked at a very young age, and who follow-through to lead the way for all of us.
