When Youths Unite For The Earth, Hope Grows

Is there still hope to course-correct for Earth, when everything seems to be heading the wrong way? This generation of youths definitely think so, especially when they come together to fight for a better future for us all. That’s what Youths United for Earth is doing, as they rally youths - and everyone else - to do their part in environmental advocacy. So in conjunction with World Youth Skills Day, celebrated annually on the 15th of July, we speak to Max Han and Nurfatin Hamzah, both co-founders of Youths United for Earth to learn more about their work and how they’re empowering the next generation of youths in Malaysia.
