Speaking Transcript

Show the Text

Well, I’ve been really worried about climate change. You know, all those stories about melting ice and forest fires? It’s kinda scary to think about. I mean, this is our planet and it feels like it’s in trouble. I started reading about it after I saw some stuff on TV. It’s made me want to do things differently, like recycle more or use less electricity. It’s not much, but I think every little bit helps. And it’s important to talk about it too, so more people understand what’s going on. So, yeah, I guess you could say climate change is a big news story that I care a lot about.
