In this episode, I speak with Manon Doran, a French-Canadian visual artist and arts educator, about the Carbon Almanac. The Carbon Almanac is a book as well as a movement of now over 2000 people starting a meaningful conversation about climate change.
In this episode we speak about eco-anxiety in youth, her tips for unlocking the potential of teens, and concrete steps we can all take to move the needle on climate change. #factsconnectionaction
