Jackson Hinkle is an 18-year-old environmental activist and politician who recently graduated from San Clemente High School in California. While many teens are still finding direction, Jackson was getting early recognition for the work he’s doing in the community. Not long ago, he was recognized as one of Teen Vogue’s “8 Young Environmentalists Who Are Working to Save the Earth.”

Our conversation ranges from influencing young people to take action, to mobilizing an eco campaign, to the importance of civil action, to what brands should be paying attention when it comes to Gen Z and how to stay well informed.
