Do you know about climate change? 🌎💚

Sleep Tight Media / Starglow Media
About this episode

In this episode, we explore a big and important topic climate change! We break down the difference between weather and climate, uncover how human activities are driving rapid warming, and explain the greenhouse effect. We also discuss how climate change is affecting our planet and, most importantly, what we can do to help. From using less energy to planting trees, even small actions can make a big difference. 🌱💡

Sleep Tight!,
