    Why Speaking Up helps with Marinel S. Ubaldo

    In this inspiring conversation, Maesha (Co-founder of Green & Beyond Mag) chats with Marinel Sumook Ubaldo, a young Filipino climate activist who isn’t afraid to speak up for the planet. She is one of the leading climate activists in Asia who also helped to organize the first-ever youth climate strike in her country, the Philippines.   Marinel’s life was just like a movie in a tropical paradise until her life suddenly changed forever when she had to witness the terrors of climate change firsthand in 2013, as Super Typhoon Haiyan wiped out her country, taking away lives of thousands and homes of millions of people. Disappointed at the crisis response from their government at the time, she decided to speak up and has since become one of the leading climate activists in the world. Today, she’s an advocate for climate justice and environmental issues and also a registered social worker.   Since her story has touched thousands of lives and inspired so many young people to speak up for our planet, today, in this inspirational conversation, we talk about Marinel's incredible journey, and her insights on how we can all maintain a positive mindset or practice climate optimism to move forward and keep taking meaningful actions.
