Finding Resilience

Many kids feel hopeless about climate change. Here’s what helps                                               

That is the title of an article recently published in CBC’s Climate series.                                                               One hundred kids from schools across southern B.C. gathered at CBC Vancouver to take part in “Hope or Nope”, a CBC Kids News event where they could share their feelings about climate, the cost of living and AI. Read it (or listen to it) here. https://www.cbc.ca/news/climate/what-on-earth-kids-climate-9.7074061?cmp=newsletter_What+on+Earth%3F_16438_2118185
