Survey
Interview

We interviewed 7 students to get a sense of their understanding of air pollution, environmental issues, and the way they though about current challenges in our climate.

  • Air pollution/environmental issues feel urgent and important to participants.
  • Apathy comes from low awareness of the problem and its urgency.
  • Participants want clearer info on why the problem exists and why it matters.
