This podcast is about recycling and how it can save future generations of the human race from drastic climate change.

"Ground and soil, cosmos and creation. Big Blue Marble". "Climate change is palpable, physical, it's real." Through this podcast we hope to being the attention of our listeners to not only the thought that the world is warming, but the fact that what you eat is closely related to home. By FSI students Julianne L., Molly J., Emma M-P., Remi B-K.

"Climate advocates where are you? We've got some work to do now! People of our earth, we need you. Were ready and were willing! If we can count on you, climate babes, I know we'll save the earth!"

Brought to you by FSI students Hailey C., Gus A., Elliot N., Luke S., and Grant L. ., this podcast is about the rivers and ephemeral ponds of our community in WNC. We interviewed Caroline Kennedy, a specialist in salamanders and biologist, who took us out into the environment and talked to us all about salamanders and the effects climate change has on them and the world. In this podcast we talk about the infamous and deadly cycle of not considering the environment and its effects.

Before we started making this podcast, we worked with Energy Savers Network to weatherize a home. After working with ESN, we then interviewed one of the co-founders, Brad Rouse. In this podcast you will learn of climate change, what you can do to help mitigate climate change, and learn more about ESN. This whole experience gave us a new outlook on how the world is changing. 

What is happening,? What we can do?  How can we stop this? All these questions will be answered in this podcast. 

This podcast is about Hickory Nut Gap Farm, and how it's being affected by climate change. We talked to Walker Sides, the farm manager. We learned about the extreme weather events he has experienced through working there for 10 years. He has noticed many changes, and this podcast discusses them. Listen to find out more. 

FSI students speak about how greenhouse gases lead to people being forced away from their homes, and ways to prevent it from continuing at home. Evidence was gained by research from credible sources such as NASA and Dr. Eggers, a professor of environmental sciences at UNC Asheville.

In this episode, FSI student Keagan C. and his group talk about how bees are affected by climate change. An expert beekeeper discusses the problems that bees are having like colony collapse disorder. Questions arise regarding whether colony collapse disorder and climate change are related or not. 

We follow Chris Smith as he explains the effects of climate change on our atmosphere and how that is going to affect us in the future. As he explains how climate change is badly affecting us to day and will continue to in the future, Chris also offers some solutions, using okra as an example. We are also inspired by his example and decide that compost is a good way for our school to contribute.

In this podcast, our group discussed with the Training and Safety Director of Outward Bound Alex Schwartz. He explains how climate change is progressively getting worse. This gave the group a better understanding of the situation and helped us in taking steps to heal our world.
