(26) Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.
    The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment in 1989. There are now 300, 000 members of Kids F. A. C. E. worldwide and it is the  world’s largest youth environmental organization.
    Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children’s Forest" project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.
    Since the organization started, Kids F. A. C. E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! (27) Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid’s Yards—the creation of backyard wildlife habitats—and now Kids F. A. C. E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
    "Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club. "
    (28) "We try to tell kids that it’s not OK to be lazy," she explains. "You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult. "
