Hannah Alper has been called many things: “The future of social media”, “Eco-Warrior”, “Changemaker” and “Activist”. At 10 years old, she is all of these things. Yes, she’s 10 years old, and here’s a brief list of highlights of things she’s done at 10 years old:
- She organized a shoreline cleanup in her community
- She was the youngest WWF Earth Hour Team Captain in 2013 and spoke at the WWFs Earth Hour event in Toronto
- She was the official “on the ground eco-blogger” for the JUNO Awards and launched We Create Change.
- Her impassioned speech at two local schools motivated her peers to collect 97,500 pennies for Free The Children’s clean water projects, which led her to be a featured speaker on Free The Children’s We Day across North America.
- Hannah has appeared on CanadaAM, The Marilyn Dennis Show, APP Central, CBC’s Fresh Air and The George Stroumboulopoulos Show and hundreds of media outlets across Canada.
- She has been featured in a spotlight from Chickadee Magazine and named as a Champion of the Earth in Owl Magazine.
- She also recently wrote a post for Yahoo worldwide on her advice for new-school wary kids
- She has a spotlight in Scholastic’s Choices Magazine
Clearly she’s the type of person who does more before 7AM than most people do all day. And she has a blog that you have to read.
Hannah created her blog, www.CallMeHannah.ca at 9 years old, with the goal of sharing her growing knowledge and concern for the environment. Having always loved animals, Hannah made the connection between animals and the effects of environmental destruction on their habitats and lives. Hannah has become an engaged global citizen seeking to further her own understanding of her connection to and responsibility to the world. Believing that even the little things that we do add up to make a difference, her journey and discovery meet her call to action through her blog. Issues that Hannah has written about in the past year include eco-friendly living, fair trade, bullying, clean water and child labour. She seeks inspiration and motivation from those who have come before her and regularly features the stories of her role models on her blog.
Currently, Hannah has an interview online with Band Aid’s Midge Ure on the importance of using your voice, the power of community, lessons to learn from music and why “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” still holds up after 29 years. I encourage you to read it and I encourage you to bookmark Hannah’s blog.
