Meet Henry, the “Emotional Environmentalist”

When you are just one person it’s hard to imagine that you alone can make a difference in the world. But for little Henry, saving the world is both an individual and group act. Last spring, Henry watched a video in school about the earth and the effects of pollution. He became so upset as a result that he began crying when his mother picked him up from school. While Henry was letting loose his grievances and feelings on the issue his mother recorded him and uploaded the video to social media for friends and family to watch. The video soon went viral and Henry became a poster child for environmental awareness.

Since then, Henry has written a book titled “Enjoy the Planet, Don’t Wreck It.” and is a sort of neighborhood watch patrol for people who litter and pollute his hometown of Mount Vernon, Washington. Nissan also took notice of Henry’s efforts and decided to show him that he’s not alone in his efforts. This month Nissan presented Henry and his family with a Nissan LEAF adorned with Henry’s very own environmental-related drawings. Watch the video above for Henry’s reaction and the video below to see where it all began.
