 I'm Shutezgat with Uproxx. I'm 16 years old and I cannot vote. Without significant action, my generation is going to inherit a world that is corrupt and collapsing. So myself and a handful of other young people are holding the federal government accountable for action on climate change in our courts. Branches of government and the entities that are meant to represent and protect people's voices are no longer doing their job. Earth Guardians is a non-profit organization. Working to help to protect and preserve the earth, the air, the water, our atmosphere. I think give voice to a generation that isn't heard to create positive change. I'm one of the six youth plan tips. So the court case today was a continuation of what we started in 2013 when we first went to the COGCC. The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission that is charged with the duty of protecting the people of Colorado from the adverse health impacts, environmental impacts of fracking are failing to do their job adequately. They basically authorize unlimited amounts of fracking and they can promote and encourage oil and gas development even if it hurts public health and safety. I think that it's very important for young people to be involved because we are going to be the ones who are most affected. We actually had a lawsuit asking them to stop fracking until it is proven that there is no environmental judgments or public health judgments. Now more than ever we have the ability to empower and uplift a generation. Today I argued on behalf of six young Coloradans in the Court of Appeals and this case was about what their duty is under the Oil and Gas Conservation Act. We got a great decision last November where Judge Aiken ruled for the first time in US history that the people of the United States have a constitutional right to a climate system that sustains human life. It's the first time the Court has ever recognized that kind of a right. I think to create tangible change we have to work as we are doing with this lawsuit within the legal system to influence policy. To hold government accountable, to take action in our courts, in our streets, in our communities tangible change comes from a diversity of ideas. When people begin to understand that this is about more than just the environment and people that are more than just environmentalists get involved and that's when we really start to see things happening.
