Climate Change - Basics for young minds

In this episode, also pre-recorded for my colleagues podcast called Covid19Ed, I teach young people about the story behind the environmental movement, I link it to the Apollo era, and I describe some activities that middle school or younger audience members can do. I finish by describing some actions that we can all take when dealing with the health of Earth. I play a short excerpt from Greta Thunberg's TED talk which is available at https://www.ted.com/talks/greta_thunberg_the_disarming_case_to_act_right_now_on_climate_change?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare
