Earth Day comes every April 22. It's a day to do some good for the planet. Here are two young people who have taken action for Mother Earth. They're (hero) for the Planet.
Fighting Wildfire
When Reshma Kosaraju was 12, her family moved from Chicago to Northern California. Soon after, the Camp Fire started. "It was one of (large) fires in California history," Reshma recalls. Her school was about 200 miles south of the fire. But students had to wear masks because of the smoke. "It was terrible experience for me", she says. It made her want to find a solution. She created a way (use) artificial intelligence (Al) to predict (预测) forest fires. Her method is nearly 90% correct. "I realized that I could succeed, the results would make a big difference."
Recycling Power
Sri Nihal Tammana learned a scary fact on his (ten) birthday. Every year, people throw out 15 billion batteries (电池). They pollute groundwater and harm the environment. Nihal's organization, Recycle My Battery, provides recycling bins batteries. This organization has a team of 250 student volunteers around the world. In the past three years, they (help) to recycle more than 260,000 batteries. Nihal has won many (environment) awards. "My biggest goal is to bring the 15 billion batteries which(throw) away each year worldwide to zero," he says.
