826 Valencia Presents: The Environment and Us: Teenage Authors on Ecosystems and Their World

Molly Parent

Ninth and tenth grade authors from 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center for Bay Area youth, discuss their new book, Walk the Earth in Our Shoes & Plant Some Seeds Behind You. The essays in this collection reflect on how social communities function like ecosystems and how we impact the world around us. From watching the Mission District change to living with the threats of global warming, these young authors are uniquely poised to investigate the way ecosystems work. Their answers contain insights everyone should hear.
