white sand beaches, snorkel-friendly waters, and
the world’s brightest bioluminescent bay. But
its beauty belies a toxic reality. On top of the
injustices of colonialism and marginalization
faced by all of Puerto Rico, the people of
Vieques have shouldered a unique burden: In the
1940s, the US Navy seized control of much of the
island for military training exercises. The war
games they conducted there, which continued
until 2003, displaced communities and left
Vieques’s soil and waters dangerously
contaminated with toxic chemicals, heavy metals,
and unexploded munitions.</P>

young people</A> who received Earth Island’s
annual Brower Youth Award for environmental

this week, Medina isn’t shirking from Vieques’s
challenges. Rather, she’s investing her energy
and passion in building a brighter future
through her work with <A style="COLOR: #8dc7de"

awards ceremony. “We are creating economic
opportunities for those who plant sustainably in
Vieques, offering spaces for care and healing
that ensure our permanence.”</P>

work is a reminder that environmental issues
never occur in a vacuum; that they are
intimately connected to racial, economic, and
social ones. And along with her fellow awardees
— who, among other things, are pushing to
increase diversity in outdoor spaces, restore
much-needed coastal mangroves, and transition
schools to green energy — Medina is creating
real change.</P>

the cycle of war and suffering ramps up in the
Middle East and slogs on in Ukraine, as storms
and wildfires and heatwaves wreak havoc on
communities around the world, it was inspiring
to be in the presence of these young leaders,
feel their energy, and hear about their
dedication and drive to solve problems that were
seeded far before they were born. For me, at
least, these young people offered hope that a
more just, peaceful, and regenerative future is
possible.</P>
