Climate change is changing everything, and Sarah has something to say about that. Tune in as she takes on the global climate crisis in her very own way. She’s not afraid to ask hard questions and she’s got the research to prove it. Join her week-by-week as she breaks down the what’s, when’s, how’s and why’s of climate change. Whether she’s reaching out to teens that are changing the world, discovering brilliant minds that are reimagining the future or getting down to business with eco-entrepreneurs. Sarah knows global warming is the challenge of her generation and she won’t back down until she figures it out; sorting through the science, busting myths and getting real about what’s really happening. She’s tired of waiting for someone else to fix things, She’s going DIY; learning the facts, interviewing experts and actually being honest about how it feels to not know all the answers. Because It matters. Because She cares. Because it’s our job to fix it. Even if she has to share her podcast studio with her little brother.
