Three young activists from across the US — Asa Miller, Amelia Southern-Uribe, and Austin Picinich, who received the 2024 Brower Youth Awards at a ceremony in Berkeley last week talk with Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and Terra Verde cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra about their outstanding efforts to promote ecological sustainability and environmental justice, what inspires them, the challenges they have had to overcome, and more.
