Hey Gen C Changemakers. This is Generation Carbon. The podcast where kids like you, help grownups like us, save the planet.

We know you have tough questions about climate change, and we believe you deserve the answers!

In this episode of Generation Carbon, we are learning about Hibernation! Are animals hibernating where the weather is getting warmer? Has anything changed?

Our Science Spark comes from Cian! Our Gen C Changemaker is in Dublin Ireland. We hear what’s going on firsthand from Edie, Callie Caterpillar, Penelope Opposum, and Luna the Bear. Learn more from Armaan Chanana from North Shore Black Bear Society in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
