One thing that binds us all together is our planet, and it would seem surprising if teachers around the country wouldn't be worried about the impending climate crisis.

We got through a huge amount from Green Flags to whether Climate Action should be a curriculum subject and everything in between. It was a great chat and I learned loads!
