The other night at dinner I played a game with my younger daughter. If you were an animal what would you be? (Owl) If you could live in one other country which one would you choose? (Australia) If you could live in any point in history what would you choose? (Anytime before global warming).
There it is again. Climate change is on my kids minds a lot these days. And on the minds of their friends and the minds of children of my friends.
If we adults feel frustrated and powerless, imagine how the kids feel.
I know that it is well beyond my power to fix climate change for my kids, but I do wish I could give them some sort of voice, a place where they could speak and grown-ups would listen. A place where they could say what it is they wish those of us with the power to vote and drive cars and fly in airplanes would do.
I'm open for ideas about practical ways to that. You-tube video's shared on a web-page? Art, posters? Other suggestions?

KidsCom.com, a virtual world for kids ages 7-13 has a series of Global Climate Change expeditions where kids get to learn about climate change and the actions that they can take to enact change in the real world. Kids who play can compete for chances to win trips to research locations around the world.
