A local teenager is working to encourage others to be kind.

Emma Bolton, 16, started "Emma's Seeds of Kindness" when she was 13.

"Honestly, like, I would love to, like donate tons of things and like have a huge impact. But just like getting people to be kinder to themselves and other people even if it's just like smile to someone else who's having a bad day. So it can be as small as that," Bolton said.

Bolton is encouraging people to take care of our local waterways through a virtual conference Saturday, March 19. It will feature several speakers, including three other teenagers who hope to make a difference.
