Defender of the
Planet
Clinton Hill was a very special boy.
He died of cancer when he was only 11 years old, but people
still remember his work to save the planet. Clint called himself
"a defender of the planet and a nature lover". When he was seven
years old, he made a poster that said we needed to understand
nature. He decided he wanted to become a scientist or an
inventor to help protect the earth. Clint started a club called
Kids for Saving the Earth.
Today, more than 7,000 school from
all over the world belong to this club. The kids from these
schools are working hard to protect the environment. They do
projects to protect the land, air, water and all living
creatures. You can find more information about this club on the
