Teens Acting for Carbon Capture

Welcome to TACC!  My name is Sylvie and I am 15. I constantly felt like I wasn’t making an impact on reversing the climate crisis, so I created TACC. Currently I am working on a toolkit to instruct teens to create Food Forests in their own backyards and communities to sequester carbon. Food Forests mimic the way a natural forest works to sequester carbon, while creating food. Most Food Forests take 4-8 years to grow but depending on the varieties that are chosen they can produce much faster. For more info on Food Forests, check out our blog.
I have grown up on an organic regenerative vegetable farm my entire life. I have had the chance to see how climate change is impacting our lives, how to scientifically change that, and how to create my own Food Forest. All of this inspired me to share what I am learning with the people around me. I hope to teach and inspire more teens to act with the climate in mind.
