I interviewed dozens of teens at my high school about their opinions and emotions surrounding the climate crisis. The audio clips you’re about to hear are diverse and polarizing–I featured many students whose perspectives align with mine, and others whom I fundamentally disagree with. However, the most common response I recieved was unexpected--and its frequency tells an important story in and of itself...Anyway, without further ado, here are the voices of Gen Z-ers contemplating the climate crisis.

Join us on an audio journey to the Climate Museum in NYC, to experience the End of Fossil Fuel Exhibit. In one of our most engaging episodes so far, you'll hear my conversation with the Museum's Founder and Director, Ms. Miranda Massie; and award-winning artist and author, Mr. Gregory Christie. Mr. Christie speaks about the 40-foot mural he created for the End of Fossil Fuel exhibit, and how art can articulate the toughest subjects and inspire positive change. Ms. Massie gives us insights into her take on art for climate justice and opens our eyes to the legacy of deception and discrimination in the fossil fuel industry.
By the end of the episode, you'll want to see the End of Fossil Fuel Exhibit for yourself. Here is the link to the Climate Museum in NYC, and here are the details about the new exhibition.

Warning: This episode will make you question the very nature of reality...or at least, the reality of nature. Everything you knew about the "honey bee crisis" is false. According to Dr. Nick Dorian, honey bees don't need saving--and they aren't the heroes we make them out to be. Flying under the radar are 4,000 other bee species that desperately need our help. In return, they can help us mitigate climate change and food insecurity. Listen in for a revelatory and utterly captivating conversation with pollinator expert, Dr. Nick Dorian. Prepare to BEE amazed!
Dr. Dorian is a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts University where he studies the population ecology of cellophane bees. He also delivered a recent TEDx Talk, and co-developed watchingbees.com, a wild bee identification site.
