FSI Expedition: "It's the End of the World As We Know It": Local Responses to Global Climate Change

Our group recorded a podcast using information we got from Dan Hetingner. 

Hosted by: Adella S., Theresa L. and Skyelar H. featuring climate change activist Steven Norris

Young people have a lot to learn, including how to take care of our earth and help make sure that we have a future to look forward to. Steven Norris, a local climate change activist, helped us learn more about what we can do for our planet. 

FSI students Jay E. and Ryan W. speak about greenhouse gases and their effects such as flooding, glaciers melting. and coastal regions with sea level rise. In addition they address how greenhouse gases cause flooding and changes in the water for many different places. They end on what we can do about it.

As young people, it can be overwhelming trying to inform ourselves on Climate Change and how we can change this world for the better. Let us teach you about phenological mismatch and Nature's Notebook and how you can make a difference.

Our group interviewed Asher Wright, a farmer at Warren Wilson  College about climate change variability on the farm. In our podcast we discussed how climate change affects all the different aspects of a farm. Asher tells us how the weather affects the animals and the food we all eat.  Climate change effects more than you would think, in this episode we discuss how climate change affects personal lives and the standard of living.

In our podcast we talk about climate change and how its effecting our earth. We interviewed an Eco-forester Andy Tait, who talks about whats it's like to be an Eco-forester and how he is helping the environment  every day and how we need to step up against deforestation. People all around the world are affected by climate change everyday, and if we don't stop it soon it will only get worse.  In our podcast we talk about the ways you can help this global issue. 

Hosted by Ryleigh B., Baeddan H., Lily M., and Hala H., along with guest speakers Amber Weaver, the Head of the Department of Sustainability in Asheville, and Sophie Mullinax, the Blue Horizons Project Coordinator.

Climate change is having a negative effect on our environment, including more extreme weather events. The greenhouse gases we emit aren't helping but the City of Asheville is implementing policies and projects to reduce our emissions. We talked to Amber Weaver, the Head of the Department of Sustainability, to go find out about these policies and projects. In this podcast we share what we learned from her, as well as sharing the additional research we did on specific organizations trying to reduce their emissions. Then we talked to Sophie Mullinax, the Blue Horizons Project coordinator for more info on the policy that created the project. To conclude our podcast, we share an easy tip you can follow to reduce your emissions and save money.
