This resource is an episode of a podcast called Wow in the World. This podcast follows Mindy as she hosts her Earth Day party. Guests each share what “gifts” they brought for the Earth. These presents are all examples of climate solutions or ways we can help take care of the environment. With that said, some examples are sillier and less realistic than others; however, these examples still highlight a problem the Earth is facing and provide a piece of a practical solution. This episode also encourages students to think about all the ways the Earth is important to us and how to appreciate the world around us. The information presented is accurate, and this resource is recommended for teaching.
