An environmental group founded by former Vice President Al Gore has launched an effort to enlist young people in his crusade to deal with the "climate crisis."
The effort, called Inconvenient Youth, was initiated on Thursday, Earth Day, by The Climate Project, Gore's Nashville, Tenn.-based group.
"Inconvenient Youth is built on the belief that teens can help lead efforts to solve the climate crisis," Gore said in a statement.
"It will give this generation — which has a unique stake in this issue — a chance to organize and exchange ideas with other young people who want to do their part to address the climate crisis.
"Perhaps most importantly, this initiative was inspired by youth and shaped by youth with their unique viewpoint guiding it forward."
The name "Inconvenient Youth" plays off the title of Gore's book and documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth."
Teens who want to get involved can go to Inconvenient Youth's website before May 15 and apply to be taught by Gore at The Climate Project's next training session in June, The Tennessean reports.
Teens who are selected will present a slide show to their communities based on Gore's latest book, "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis."
The Climate Project, begun in 2006, claims to have more than 3,000 presenters worldwide.
