24、
It was a beautiful sunny day in a small village in Africa. I was playing with the children outside. A little boy, about 7 years old, gestured to me to follow him. He had a shy smile on his small face and said something to me.

26、While most teens are busy with sports, friends, and online games, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez is working to save the planet. He is one of the most famous environmental activists (积极分子) in the world.
So how does a teenager become a well-known environmental activist?
“I grew up in a family where people were always thinking about the environment,” says Xiuhtezcatl.
When Xiuhtezcatl was just 6 years old, he decided he had to do something about climate (气候) change — a serious environmental problem. Scientists have been studying climate change for many years. They know that Earth’s climate changes on its own over time. But right now, it is changing more and more quickly than usual because of pollution created by people — by the cars, trucks and planes we ride in, and by the coal and oil we burn for electricity.
Xiuhtezcatl points out that climate change is a serious problem. “People can feel very helpless about climate change, like there is nothing they can do,” he says. But that is not true. “Humans caused climate change,” Xiuhtezcatl says. “And we can try to solve it.”
Xiuhtezcatl began looking for solutions (解决办法) when he was just a little kid. His elder brothers and sisters ran an environmental group called Earth Guardians, which was started by their mom. First he listened when they had meetings. Soon he was traveling around the country and the world. His goal? To educate and inspire people to join the fight against climate change.
Today Xiuhtezcatl runs Earth Guardians. The group works with thousands of kids around the world. He speaks to students in classrooms about steps they can take to help the planet. And he writes and performs hip-hop songs about the environment. Xiuhtezcatl believes that if many people change their habits, we can reduce (减少) the causes of climate change.

A.family
