This month’s Sustainable Red Bank will be:
How to Talk To Your Kids About Climate Change
Kids today will face the challenges of a warming world head on. They have a right to understand the realities of the climate crisis and what it means for them – and so the adults in their lives have a responsibility to provide that knowledge as best they can. Join us as climate educator, economist and author Harriet Shugarman shares her unique insights and some best practices for having these meaningful conversations.
