While most teens are busy with sports, friends and online games, Robert Martinez is working to save the planet. He is one of the most famous environmental activists in the world. So how does a teenager do that?

“I grew up in a family where people were always thinking about the environment,” says Robert. When Robert was just 6 years old, he decided he had to do something about climate(气候)change — a serious environmental problem. Scientists have been studying climate change for many years. They know that Earth's climate changes on its own over time. But right now, it is changing more and more quickly than usual because of pollution created by people by the cars, trucks and planes we ride in, and by the coal and oil we burn for electricity.

His elder brothers and sisters ran an environmental group called Earth Guardians which was started by their mom. First he listened when they had meetings. Soon he was traveling around the country and the world. His goal? To educate and inspire people to join the fight against climate change.

Today Robert runs Earth Guardians. The group works with thousands of kids around the world. He speaks to students in classrooms about steps they can take to help the planet. And he writes and performs hip-hop songs about the environment. Robert believes that if many people change their habits, we can reduce the causes of climate change.
