Generation Carbon

Hey Gen C Changemakers. This is Generation Carbon. The podcast where kids like you, help grownups like us, save the planet.

We know you have tough questions about climate change, and we believe you deserve the answers!

In this episode of Generation Carbon, we are learning about the red sky! Why does the sky turn red at sunset? Why is it sometimes red at night? During the pandemic, when we stayed home, the sky seemed much clearer. What has changed?

Our Science Spark comes from, Magilvathani, our Gen C Changemaker in India. We hear what’s going on firsthand from Edie, Callie Caterpillar & Peri Plant. Learn more from Andrew Humphrey, Chief Meteorologist from Fox13 Memphis WHBQ-TV.
