С 2000 года программа "Инициатива новых лидеров" Института острова Земли 
предоставляет передовые и инновационные программы молодежных лидеров со всей 
Северной Америки. Цель всех программ инициативы "Новые лидеры" - вовлекать, 
развивать и поддерживать молодежных активистов в области охраны окружающей 
среды и социальной справедливости, чтобы они могли достичь наивысшей версии 
самих себя. Наши молодежные программы включают стипендии, микрогранты, 
обучение СМИ, наставничество, видение, коучинг, развитие лидерских качеств, 
повышение профессиональных навыков, вебинары, сетевые мероприятия, семинары, 
партнерские отношения с сообществом, а также доступ к ресурсам и отношениям 
для руководства и поддержания эффективных кампаний и проектов. Флагманским 
событием инициативы "Новые лидеры" является молодежная премия Брауэра 
http://www.broweryouthawards.org/awardees/, которая присуждается выдающимся 
молодежным лидерам, добивающимся успехов в экологическом движении. Церемония 
вручения национальной премии проводится инициативой "Новые лидеры" и 
представлена Институтом острова Земли. Молодежная премия Брауэра была 
присуждена 135 выдающимся молодым лидерам, представляющим достижения по 
всему спектру экологического движения. Каждый год шесть молодых людей, 
проживающих в Северной Америке, получают денежную премию в размере 3000 
долларов каждый. В ночь церемонии награждения вдохновляющие истории 
победителей рассказываются в коротких документальных видеороликах.

Justice work, which is rooted in connection, is the work of world building.

                               NEWSLETTER | OCTOBER 21, 2022
















                              Constructive Action
                              Each year, Earth Island Institute, which 
publishes the Journal, honors upcoming leaders in environmental activism 
through its Brower Youth Awards. On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to attend 
the awards ceremony for this year’s six activists, held in Berkeley, 
California, where Earth Island is headquartered. This was the first live BYA 
ceremony since the pandemic, so the small theater in which it was held — the 
Freight & Salvage — was abuzz with the energy of both an awards program and 
a reunion, as people danced to music, hugged, smiled and gave raucous rounds 
of standing ovations. Each youth leader is inspiring in their own way, and 
you can read more about them here.

                              What struck me most is that their projects are 
both manageable and inspirational at once. Take for example the work of 
Raghav Kalyanaraman. His project, Eagles for the Environment, restores 
prairie ecosystems in north Texas. This requires intensive labor, including 
the painstaking raking of non-native grass litter so that native seeds can 
be planted. It is ecologically important work, as prairies sequester more 
carbon dioxide than forest do. — but it is also important community work, 
undertaken acre by acre by a small group of dedicated people.

                              This is the kind of work we should all 
undertake, inside the knowledge of interdependence and interconnection. I 
have been reading Ruha Benjamin’s Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We 
Want, which urges us to “foster a deep-rooted interdependence, not as some 
cheery platitude, but as a guiding ethos for regenerating life on this 
planet.” Justice work, Benjamin says, is rooted in connection, “not just to 
other living things, but to those yet born.” It is the work of world 
building.

                              The Brower Youth Award winners are engaged 
exactly this kind of work. This construction in action builds from one 
person to the next, one project to the next. These projects then start to 
interlock, to rebuild the world. We need more of it, and we need everyone to 
take part in it. I would encourage each of you this week to take a look at 
your backyard, your neighborhood, your community, and find a place to build 
something, or restore something, or simply to pitch in where something is 
being built. The right ethos starts there, and, as any of these young 
leaders will tell you, it matters.

                              Yours in action,

                              The state of Washington appears eager to cash 
in on its thousands of acres of “mature” forests, so much so that it has a 
little-known law in place that makes lumber a part of its climate strategy.

                              Paris, ever the global trendsetter, pioneered 
the idea of 15-minute cities — an urban planning concept in which most of 
our daily necessities can be met by either walking or biking 15 minutes from 
our homes. Now other cities across the world are following suit.

                              They jump. They spar. They even toss around 
toys. New research suggests chickens enjoy play too, underscoring, yet 
again, “that farmed animals aren’t all that different from the rest of us.”
