Aria Erickson is fourteen years old and lives in West Seattle. She loves marine animals and is concerned about one of the biggest threats to their health - plastic pollution. Voices like Aria's are crucial not just because young people are tomorrow's leaders. Youth perspectives like hers remind us of what we can accomplish if we empower young people, act collectively, and hold elected officials accountable.
