As world leaders bicker and stumble to find common ground to stop global warming and environmental destruction, young people worldwide are taking up the fight for their own survival. "Beyond Green" is about their fight. In collaboration with Adobe Youth Voices, Listen Up! is working with youth filmmakers in nine countries to tell personal stories about youth addressing local environmental crises and what they’re doing about it.

In Africa's largest slum in Nairobi, Kenya, youth band together to offer alternatives for people without running water and adequate sanitation. On the other side of the Atlantic, youth-led "Toxic Soil Busters" make it their business to get lead out of the ground and their community. And below the equator, indigenous youth from rural Colombia, pressed as young children into harvesting coca leaves, now work with the "Indigenous Guard," a group that seeks non-violent means to defend indigenous rights and teach local culture. These, as well as stories by youth in Armenia, Cuba, Brazil, India, Serbia, Thailand and five more cities in the USA, comprise the Beyond Green compilation, the follow up to our Peabody Award-winning “Beyond Borders: Personal Stories from a Small Planet.”
