A 6-year-old boy has taken the Internet by storm after a video showing just how distraught he was about the impact of pollution on the environment.
“For years, we’ve heard environmentalists say that saving the Earth today will help ensure that our children will have a better world tomorrow. However, we rarely see youngsters show just how much conservation really means to them.”
Henry Marr and his mom Allie Hall were driving home from school when he suddenly broke down in the car. Apparently he saw a video about the negative effects of littering on the environment and he became upset about it. His mom caught his reactions on camera and decided to post it on Facebook. Their friends and family shared the video, and it didn’t take long for it to go viral.
Henry’s video has now had more than 16 million views and has been shared more than 25,000 times on Facebook. Allie said the environmental group Greenpeace has also shared the clip.Another user said Henry’s reactions were both adorable and heartbreaking at the same time.
In a recent interview, Henry seemed to welcome his newfound fame.
“I think I’m going famous,” the grade-schooler said. “I mean I’m on TV, I must be famous.”
His mom said that Henry has always been passionate about saving the environment even before seeing the video at school but now his commitment is on a different level. He has even written a book titled “Enjoy the Planet, Don’t Wreck It,” seemingly to show how serious he is about his advocacy.
