Juan Carlos Banda Fonseca, 18 years old, Monterrey.
"In Monterrey, trash on the streets is a part of the landscape of our town. We young people couldn't just do nothing, so we decided to take action. We went out to raise awareness amongst the population, so that together we can make a change. My team (CoNatura) and I work in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area and its surroundings, where there is a large population that lives their lives amidst the stress of the city and forgets the importance of taking care of the environment."

Ana Leticia Paredes Campuzano, 15 years old, Ecuador.
"The environmental watch was carried out on a tourist beach in our province of Santa Elena, La Libertad. On the pier we collected the garbage, four teenagers participated, and we also picked up cigarette butts. It was impressive to see how in the small space that we passed by we were able to find about 15 cigarette butts. The people who saw us asked us what we were doing, we informed them and some told us that they were going to write to us because they also wanted to participate. It was very good, as we managed to raise awareness among some people."
