In this episode, Vanessa and Belle interview Nick Engelfried, a freelance writer, nonprofit founder, and climate activist who recently released his new book: “Movement Makers: How Young Activists Upended the Politics of Climate Change.” Vanessa, Belle, and Nick discuss getting started as a young climate activist, and the impact youth has in the political field. Nick describes his experiences with environmental activism as a college student, and how these experiences went on to help create his book. Vanessa, Belle, and Nick also consider the impact social media has on environmental movements, and how it can be both a help and a hindrance to positive change and education.
