What is We Save the World's Eco-Hero Launchpad?
The Eco-Hero Launchpad is a free-to-use digital tool to educate and inspire young people to write and share stories about environmental issues, with the intention of sharing their writing as an act of environmental activism.
Our hope is that students will use their stories to fundraise for an environmental non-profit. Even a small amount helps and can make a student feel proud. However, fundraising is optional, and the function may be toggled off by an Educator.
