The Environmental Youth Conference is a meeting that encourages teens and their families to save the planet. My experience attending the meetings was interesting. There were booths that give you information and brochures that tell about curing the Earth. There were also speakers, who talked about using alternative fuels, solar energy, conserving water and energy, the importance of trees, recycling, and reducing the use of plastic. Some teens even suggested some ideas to help make a difference. There were also actors from the TV shows: The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Sonny with a Chance, Hannah Montana, Cory in the House, etc. They talked about their organization and experiences. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was even there to speak. My experience there really opened my eyes. I’ve learned to save water and energy and to recycle more often.
