During 2011, we had the privilege of working with the Hawai'i Nature Center's "Climate Change Camps" for middle school students. These week-long camps engaged students in various hands-on activities to learn about their environment and the impact of climate change today and potentially in the future. Most importantly, they learned about solutions.
One of the products of each of the three camps was a video public service announcement (PSA) created by the students (with some professional help). We're pleased to share them with you so that you can hear what the students have to say. Their words are intelligent and compelling.
Mahalo nui loa to the Hawai'i Nature Center, Kelsey Matsu, the students, and NOAA B-WET program for making these PSAs possible!
