Malala Yousafzai, the well-known human rights activist and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, said "some people only ask others to do something...Why should I wait for someone else?  Why don't I take a step and move forward."  The four members of Catlin Gabel’s Environmental Action Team (EAT) that you'll hear on this episode embody the heart of this statement.  They are all students who are stepping up to deal with environmental issues that are impacting all of us.  Upper School students Megan Cover, Audrey Hébert, Eva Garzotto, and Chloe Jahncke sit down with Rob and guest host Berkeley Gadbaw to talk about the vision and the projects of this student-led team as well as their thoughts about recycling, the ups and downs of environmental work, the stories of the climate crisis. and the work of environmental writer Elizabeth Rush.
