The Vision Z Podcast

So, it has definitely been a while since this podcast has had a new episode, so, today’s episode isn’t going to go into anything that deep today, but more so talking about things in relation to the climate crisis so far. You will also get to hear the very first interview of this year's season. I will also be briefly discussing how you can be interactive with my podcast; meaning you’ll be able to suggest what my topics will be for specific episodes, who you want me to interview, and pretty much other things similar to that. I hope you enjoy the first episode of the podcast's new season and make sure to be on the lookout for future episodes. And if you haven't already, go check out season one's episodes!!! 

 Hey guys! It’s me Eva, and I’m back for the 2nd season of the Vision Z podcast!

As you know, this podcast is for anyone who is interested in saving the earth from climate change and wants to know how they can do it.

In our first season, we discussed what climate change is, and in each episode, we would discuss different aspects of climate change, how it affects not only us, but the environment around us, and what we can do on our behalf to fix the problem

I’ll be doing the same thing for this year’s season but with more interactions, meaning that, I am going to be interviewing people and getting their thoughts on climate change and what they do on their behalf to save the environment. And don’t think that I forgot about those eco challenges! I’ll be hitting you with some even cooler eco-challenges this season. So be on the lookout for new episodes! Generation Z out!

For the last episode of season 1, we are going to be talking about plants! We are going to be talking about what they are specifically, and how they contribute to our living here on mother Earth! We know in your mind right now, plants don’t seem interesting, but you’ll find out that you might be wrong. We are also going to be discussing some facts about Monarch butterflies and how those butterflies and butterflies, in general, contribute to Earth. This episode's "Eco-challenge" is going to be super fun and simple. Want to find out what it is? Well, you know what to do: Tune in to find out! 

Due to technical difficulties (many glitches in sound), we will be redoing this episode again, A.S.A.P. So sorry for any inconvenience.

In today's episode, we are going to be talking about some major things: What is climate change exactly? What are greenhouse gases? We will also be explaining the difference between greenhouse gases and greenhouse, while also discussing similarities between them. We also have a cool, new "Eco-challenge" that is practically effortless. All it has to do with is putting out the fact that climate change is real, and that something can, and will be done about it. Want the specifics on what you will have to do exactly? I guess you're just going to have to press the play button to find out. We'll see ya' there!

As you can tell from the title, this is a continuation of "Recycling! Pt. 1." Why? Well, we noticed that we missed a few key points about recycling. Mainly the fact that even though something good can come from recycling, bad things can also come from not recycling. So that is what we will be talking about in this episode. We are also going to be having a very exciting "Eco-challenge" on this episode. Want to find out exactly what we will be discussing and what the "Eco-challenge" will be this time? Tune in to find out!

In this episode, we are going to be talking about recycling, how to do it, what to recycle, and the benefits of it. Then near the end, we will be giving out a fun "Eco-Challenge" for all of you to do, which has to do with this episode's topic: Recycling. So we hope you tune in and see the benefits of taking action for our climate!
