To expand the idea of engaging students in environmental science and climate change studies, Wyoming Seminary, a private school in Northeastern Pennsylvania, created the Climate Science and Sustainability Program.  High Schoolers in the program do individual studies on subjects they are personally interested in and create group projects to get other students and people in the community invested in learning and acting on the problems they face.

In this episode, three students in the CSS program, Rebecca, Trinity, and Victoria, not only learn about the benefits of composting, but how they can become teachers themselves to share that information with students much younger than them.  Sem teachers Nicole Lewis and Michael McGlinn guide them in how to empower elementary kids to begin making changes at home.
