Planet Earth is getting warmer. Some leaders meet every year to talk about what they can do to combat climate change. Few countries go home and do something to reduce their emissions. In the midst of all this rather gloomy news is another interesting twist – although poor countries have hardly emitted any greenhouse gases, they are facing storms and floods. Some island nations could be at the brink of being submerged forever. Take a moment and think about this – these countries caused little or no carbon emissions in the past. But they are facing extreme weather events. Is this fair?

In this episode, 11-year old Zachary from California shares his thoughts about how the developed world owes the developing world. Zach believes rich countries need to help the poor countries rebuild their nations after such extreme climate events. He also walks us through some of the simple things that you and I can do, in terms of identifying the right items to recycle and segregate waste responsibly. Do you have any ideas of your own, on the topic of climate change or waste recycling? We'd love to hear them at hello@wsnt.in
