Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act.
Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

Such a beautiful book about seasons and life cycles in nature. A new addition to our local library and a perfect book to discuss autumn with kids.
The changes this season brings, how we can see them all around -for example in trees 🍂 🍂🍂- and why these matter for the whole ecosystem and life cycle.

When asked about the links between their school work and their future career, there was an increase in how relevant children felt their current learning was. Those in 1st Year rated the relevance of what they are learning in class higher than they did in 6th Class.
