Alec Loorz is a 15 years old, is a Sophomore at El Camino High School, in Ventura California.

 

He founded Kids vs Global Warming when he was 12 years old after watching Al Gore’s movie, “an inconvenient truth.”  Feeling the weight of the global situation and a sense that he could make a difference, Alec felt compelled to tell other kids about the problems we are facing.  His message is deeply rooted in hope, encouraging kids to speak up and let their voices be heard on this issue.

 

Alec creates presentations especifically for youth, full of videos, animation, easy-to-understand science, and compelling motivation for kids K-college ages.  He gave over 30 global warming presentations before being invited by Al Gore to be formally trained with the Climate  Project in October of 2008.  He is now their youngest US trained presenter. 

 

He’s given over 150 presentations and keynote addresses, reaching over 25,000 (and scheduled for another 50,000 so far this year.)  He is regularly invited to keynote events and conferences, and as a panelist with experts, PhDs and elected officials.
