Dispatches from the Youth Climate Movement
Part of MTV’s Think initiative (which is also partnering with the Campus Climate Challenge) the issues in this global warming music video are rather mixed. Nevertheless it’s great fun, and certainly worth a watch.
Matthew Carroll is an environmentalist, scientist, and change agent, living in Hamilton, Canada. He has a masters degree in atmospheric chemistry from University of Leeds and University of Toronto, and over eight years' experience educating, facilitating, and engaging youth in local, regional, national and international decision making. Matthew firmly believes that climate change is the defining social justice issue of this generation, and that young people have a pivotal leadership role to play in building a just transition to a low-carbon future. More about Matthew...
Matthew,
Thanks for the post. That video is hilariously clever – and catchy! I’ll be singing “the trees are dying” as I hit the pillow tonight and probably dream of that goofy little Urkel looking guy. And when I wake up I will continue to work for the clean energy future. Blessings bro. I miss your smile and humor.
That’s a good alternative medium, alright.
