Every week, Truthout posts a short video for middle school aged kids – and everyone else – about climate change and its effects. “The Green Ninja,” a character created by a climate scientist and his team, provides an entertaining and educational way to help children grasp the intricacies of climate change and learn what they can personally do to become involved in fighting it. See additional details about the series or head straight to this week’s episode “Tissue Issue: Tale of a Shrinking Tree.”
Paper seems like an infinite resource these days, nobody sees the underlying effects. We can learn a lot from a local lumberjack who is an expert on paper production. How will you keep your trees from shrinking?
Media that fights fascism
Truthout is funded almost entirely by readers — that’s why we can speak truth to power and cut against the mainstream narrative. But independent journalists at Truthout face mounting political repression under Trump.
