Social Media and Environment

Are you a young person between the ages of 16 - 18 who is actively using social media to teach and communicate with others about environmental issues you are passionate about? If yes, then please consider filling out this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/youngenvironmentalactivists

This survey is being used to help identify 30 young environmental activists from around the world who will be asked to participate in a 6 month ethnographic study focused on how they use social media to communicate about the environmental and social justice issues that matter most to them. It will profile the visibility of young people as actors in new and growing environmental and social movements. The study is being conducted by me, Ellen Field, a PhD student at James Cook University, is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and is in collaboration with Taking IT Global.

The survey will take 20 minutes to complete. If you know of others between 16 & 18 years old who might be interested in this study, can you please pass on this survey to them.
