The children were very interested indeed and listened carefully for a full 45 minutes while I read to them from Global Warming for Young Minds. This lead to some great questions and answers. One boy wanted to know why there was no atmosphere on the moon. While slightly off topic, this was a great question and one I just managed to answer!
When asked who can help avoid too much CO2 getting into the atmosphere, one young mind suggested scientists, while another explained that the Government could tell companies not to let out too much CO2.
Such great knowledge and understanding bodes well for the future, when these youngsters grow up and become adults, who have to make important choices about how to live their lives. Hopefully this will be sensible and sustainable choices because they understand they have a direct impact on the planet.
