EPISODE 2: SCALES / TALES of DISASTER
This episode presents stories of “un-natural” natural disasters including super storms and of the increasingly “everyday” disasters of ongoing climate change–like flooded basements or high school buildings too hot for learning. You’ll hear lively student voices and learn from academic researchers and community partners who are vitally important to the socially engaged work we make at PPEH.
