Jane Goodall has spearheaded a pretty cool global youth initiative for action on environmental issues.
I know some high schools and colleges have hiking clubs and younger children get involved in Cub Scouts and Brownies to explore the great outdoors, but this is an environmental organization with some oomph--local activities married with a global focus, and a global network of like-minded youths. R&S groups aren't limited just to the US--groups have opened up in faraway locales in China and Tanzania. Plus they get the full backing of
the Jane Goodall Institute.
Their current campaigns in the US seem to be focused on tree plantings and promoting reusable bags. Anyone can join this organization or start their own local group. Website and resources
