From an early age, they've been working to save the planet. Erek Hansen was 8 when he began recycling old, ripped jeans. Cassandra Lin was in the fifth grade when she started collecting cooking oil that could be converted into fuel so her neighbors could have heat. And Gabrielle Posard was only 12 when she came up with a plan to convince grocery stores to donate food rather than dump it. Each of these environmental kid crusaders has been hailed for making a difference. As we celebrate Earth Day 2013, check out their stories to see simple ways you, too, can make a difference.
