New Earth Kids: Youth Activism in the March to End Fossil Fuel Use AND Beautifying Bayard

Host Nan Franzblau joins youth activists as they lead Grant County residents in a march to end the use of fossil fuels, adding their voices to the global movement.  The kids share their concerns about climate change, what inspires their activism, and what others can do to make a difference.  In the second half of New Earth Kids, we’ll hear a roundtable discussion with residents of Bayard who enlisted an art class at Cobre High School to dream, design, and paint a mural on the side of the Bayard Library.  The result is an imaginative collage of images that celebrate reading, cultural diversity, elements of the natural world, the Kneeling Nun, and New Mexico’s colorful history with UFOs!
