Host John Whidden introduces young guest Camille on Climate Action Figures and shares a “Quick Fix” from Glenda about recycling crushed ceramic toilets as road filler in Germany. Camille discusses her family garden, favorite crops, and a sweet potato sprout experiment, and says she hopes to become a fruit and vegetable farmer (and possibly work in food or photography). Heading into grade seven, she’s excited about school options like foods (using a school garden), outdoors learning in a forest classroom, an eco club, and a science course on climate change. She bikes or walks to school via a supervised “bike bus,” notes her family composts, and mentions turning off her dad’s unused lights. Camille explains eco-anxiety, worries most about greenhouse gases driving warming and impacts like melting ice and flooding, and believes raising awareness is key. Her climate action is carpooling to soccer, and she finds hope in many small environmental actions and community efforts.
