This issue features the role of youth and young adults (up to 25 years old) involved in environmental activism in a variety of settings. Some are from other countries, some are from other parts of the USA, and some are from Seattle. One is a poet whose poetry is included in a recent book by poet and author Naomi Shihab Nye: Time You Let Me In, containing the works of 25 poets under 25 years of age. In addition, there is an article by Kaitlin Torgerson, a former Lutheran Volunteer Corps staff member at Earth Ministry. Each year Earth Ministry is aided by having an LVC recent college graduate join our staff for a year of service – Kaitlin worked with us from 2007-2008. We hope that you are inspired by learning about the work of all of these inspirational young adults.
