Avoiding bad effects of climate change requires action, but is hard to take action when you don't even know there's a problem. Previous work has shown that children are more (active) engaged and more knowledgeable than adults (be) about climate change. The question is, can this be used to make a difference? (test) the idea, Danielle Lawson, a social scientist at NC State University, set up climate course for kids and their parents in which students (ask) to interview their parents. The course did increase the (aware) about climate change, not just among the kids, but their parents as well.
"The study shows how (power) young people's voices can be, makes me really excited to see how much of an impact kids can have on their parents. And I think kids can just have the power to bring us together in a way we haven't seen yet when it comes to (handle) climate change." said Danielle Lawson.
