Dr Marji is a coral reef scientist who aims to teach kids around the world about the climate crisis through interactive play and art. Marji meets kids at their level with play dough and LEGO and isn't afraid to dress up as a coral polyp or penguin to help get the important message of the climate crisis across to young inquisitive minds.

Dr Marji also runs an international drawing contest for kids at kidscareaboutclimate.org that brings kids around the world together to make their voices heard on this vital issue.

In this episode Dr Marji will share why she's focussing on educating kids about the climate crisis rather than adults, how she ensures she doesn't fuel any anxieties the children may already have about the state of our global environment, and how you can get the children in your life involved by drawing a picture of a tree and in turn have a real tree planted on their behalf.
