We hear what’s going on firsthand from Edie, Holly Hummingbird & Spencer Sparrow. Learn more from B.J. Glick artist, bird enthusiast & educator and Gen C Super Scientific Story Reporters Emma and Erik, from Stockholm Sweden. Hanna, from Boulder Colorado, shares what she thinks life in 2050 may look like.
