It’s so important for people to connect with anything they are learning so they understand why it's relevant to their lives. What are some ways you help students to see the consequences of climate change in your local communities?

Here in NYC we are experiencing much warmer winters and what seems like more intense rainfall. We were also hit by the Canadian smoke last year. Whenever these events happen, we talk about them. I share stories about winters when I was a kid. The snow days I'd get, followed by bundling up for low single digit temperatures in January. This year I haven't worn a winter sweater to work once.
Talking about climate change could be stressful and daunting, so I try to place the focus on climate justice/ climate action. What could we do to help?
