Puzzler
Students from Susquehanna University answer the puzzler question. Victor, a middle school student is freaking out because of climate change. What does he need to hear?

We also get inspiration from elementary students at the River Valley Nature School who gave a presentation at the Climate Strike event held in Lewisburg, PA.

New Puzzler Question: After attending the recent climate strikes you ran into your cousin, Kristian. She saw news reports about events around the world. She says, “I love the sign—system change not climate change, but it seems like a total fantasy. They expect everyone to go vegan or something? What systems can we change that will make any difference with climate change? ”

Kristian needs some help envisioning the kind of change that you are pursuing. How would you answer Kirstian?
