The tables turn as we interview the adults to hear their side of the story and their experience with the changes in climate and environment. We ask them to talk about the changes they have seen in their lives and what they think about the future. This is their chance to tell us what they know and what they think went wrong.

We share the honest feelings and thoughts of young people today around climate change and the environment. Instead of looking at boring stats, we talk about the stress and hope of growing up in a changing world. It’s a look at what it’s really like to plan for a future when things feel so uncertain.
