From the Ground Up Ep. 370: For Our Kids | 2025.08.20
In this episode, we talk with Gabrielle Willms from For Our Kids to share why parents taking climate action matters more than ever. Claire Kraatz from For Our Kids also joins the conversation to tell us why parents are stepping up to demand strong methane regulations in Canada. Methane is a “super pollutant” that accelerates climate change, fuels wildfires, and threatens the health of our children and communities—but it’s also one of the fastest, most cost-effective climate solutions available. Cutting methane just makes sense - economically and ecologically.
