[CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE]
Youth have a lot to say about the future of their planet. In this Spoken Word piece by two youth, Daisy and Xitlaly discuss environmental justice in climate change. My name is Daisy Madera. I am currently a senior at KNDLA. I am from Denver Colorado and I am a first generation Mexican. The outdoors have always been a big part of my life and they have always advocated for the preservation of the environment. Looking into the future, I would like to join the medical field and continue to spend my free time in the outdoors. Hiking and playing soccer are my favorite activities outdoors but building snowmen and having snowball fights are definitely better in the winter. Environmental racism is something that I did not know much of before and now that I have more knowledge of it, I will want to educate kids and other people in the future about the next steps we can take on making it better.

Xitlaly Avitia is a senior at northwest early college in Denver Colorado. Xitlaly is an avid lover of all thing outdoors. She loves to hike and since being in ELK has developed a deeper understanding of the importance of connecting with nature. This summer Xitlaly made a sock in partnership with smart wool which was the highlight of the summer, though giving a TEDx talk might be a close seconds. She is proud of her creation and encourages everyone to check it out. She is looking forward to what the future brings. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
