The time to act is now! What inspired me to write this book was hearing the countless stories of communities devastated by climate change. I knew that the best way to raise awareness and lead a fight was through the youth. By creating my book I’ve had the opportunity to connect with the youth, hear their feedback, and discuss with them the issues with our environment. I believe that climate education is very effective and will lead to informed young leaders.

By publishing books every year and sharing my story, I hope to make climate education the standard. Nationwide, elementary schools will have climate change as a part of their curriculum. They’ll be able to dive deep into learning about the environment.

Learning about climate change sub-topics such as greenhouse gases, deforestation, global warming, and pollution is the tip of the iceberg to environmental curiosity. Teaching kids about these topics encourages their curiosity which leads to new solutions to various climatic issues.

After reading the book, I ask the students questions about the book such as “What was going on in the koala’s habitat?” or “What is the message of the book?” Through these questions, I develop their intellectual curiosity about the environment, inviting them to learn more about the effects of climate change.

These sessions help the children realize just how detrimental climate change is. They are beginning to understand how climate change will affect their futures, and that it’s up to them to lead the way.

My goal is to inspire the youth to take action. I want them to look for problems in their community, plan, and create a project to tackle them. Whether it’s by building a community garden or water filter, I hope that they take responsibility for the Earth and design these projects. These projects will be the stepping stones to their journey as young climate leaders.

I want to cultivate a global initiative where students are encouraged to read environmental books or watch videos about pollution. Everywhere children will have an outlet to learn about these topics, they’ll have new perspectives, helping them find new solutions to issues in their community.

Before reading my book, I like to ask the students a couple of questions about the environment to assess their knowledge level. These questions can be about the 3Rs or Earth Day. Unfortunately, some children can’t answer my questions. This proves that those students lack fundamental climate education. Through this book, and future ones, I hope to grow these students’ learning and build upon what they already know.

By empowering the youth to create positive change, we welcome a new age of creativity and innovation. Equipped with education, our young leaders will introduce new ways to save the environment.

Climate education encourages children to change their behaviors, engaging in sustainable lifestyles. This education motivates them to take action and helps them take charge in their communities and ultimately the world.

Environmental children’s books are central to a child’s climate education. These books can cultivate a love of reading and are the foundation of what they know about our world. “The Wildlife Warriors: Saving Their Habitats” presents important topics in a fun and simple way for kids to understand.

Building greenhouse gas models helps students learn about the environment in a fun way. They chose between 4 gasses: ozone, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Activities like these help facilitate climate education!

Children need climate education to develop green skills, raise environmental awareness, and understand how to fight climate change.
