Video produced by Gabriel Corey. Producer statement: Even the little things of buying boba has an effect on the environment. The small action of bringing your own cup to the boba shop also has an impact. I wanted to emphasize how important small actions can be to our environment and our personal lives.
Climate Talks
Climate Talks is a youth-led workshop series held at San Francisco Public Libraries, focused on a variety of environmental topics. By bringing community together, we inspire one another to make simple changes, share ideas and learn from one another, and connect with other youth across the city to take meaningful actions that make a difference in San Francisco.

Reuse Revolution (Two-part series)
Reuse Revolution was a youth-led Climate Talk focused on how reuse—repair, refill, sharing, and secondhand systems—can reduce waste and cut climate pollution. The session connected personal habits to citywide climate strategies and encouraged participants to see reuse as both an environmental and community-building solution.
Youth Climate Priorities
Youth Commissioner Harper Fortgang led a dynamic discussion on climate priorities for young people in San Francisco and the ways youth can take meaningful action. The conversation explored issues most impacting youth today, including climate justice, community resilience, and access to sustainable solutions. Participants were invited to share their perspectives, reflect on how climate policy affects their daily lives, and consider how youth voices can shape local decision-making. The session emphasized the power of youth leadership in advancing equitable climate action across the city.
Planning for the Future
San Francisco State University lecturer Shawn Rosenmoss kicked off our first Climate Talk, "Planning for the Future", in December 2024, sparking a conversation about the environmental future of the City. Through personal connection, we explored how this uncertainty relates to the environment and how we can take meaningful climate action in relation to our personal lives and in politics.
