In a clarion call to K-12 educators, Dylan Spencer, 17, suggests that his generation’s preparation for the impacts of the climate crisis necessitates a response from schools that includes climate change issues fully integrated into all content curriculum. Dylan Spencer, grade 11, is a climate activist who founded ASAP Scraps, a community-based composting initiative. Dylan's TEDx talk focuses on the need for climate change to be integrated across the curriculum in order to prepare students for the problem-solving and critical thinking they will need to approach complex issues in the future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

In this time of crises — climate change, ecocide, declining biodiversity, social inequity, injustice, and political turmoil — understanding of Indigenous lifeways

In this time of crises — climate change, ecocide, declining biodiversity, social inequity, injustice, and political turmoil — understanding of Indigenous lifeways and values can help us envision and create a better future for all of us. Core values that are common to many Indigenous cultures — relationship, responsibility, reciprocity, and redistribution help us to be good stewards of our communities and ecosystems in sacred kinship with all our relatives. Birds are important guides and can provide us with an understanding of these values. We have much to learn from our feathered relatives. Join the conversation.
