Expedition Podcast
Being Local to WNC (Western North Carolina) we care deeply about our community and environment. Climate change is a large social issue, so we decided to research the topic of sustainable agriculture. Amy Boyd and Josua Arnold are professors at Warren Wilson College, they provided us with information and insight on this topic. In our podcast, we discuss farming, sustainable systems, livestock, and local vegetation; all of these things have been and will continue to be affected by climate change.

Biopocalypse
You may not always see it on the news, but between 200-2000 animals go extinct every year. It’s a prevailing problem; one not with a simple solution. In other words, it goes beyond just switching to solar panels. Our society relies on the environment, but also damages it through infrastructure, plastic pollution, etc. We have told some of our own personal stories with the loss of biodiversity and talked to a professional on the subject, Caitlin Worth. With Ms. Worth we discussed geography's effect and influence toward biodiversity, symbiotic relationships, and invasive species so that we may raise awareness towards the importance of protecting our natural habitat and all the species that live in it.
Water You Thinking?
Brought to you by the Franklin School of Innovation students Amelia K., Bats A., Gideon F., Gwynneth C., and Ayden L., this podcast is all about flooding. We interviewed the education and outreach manager of RiverLink, Justin Young. We are discussing the flood of 1916, the benefits of flooding, and on the flip side, the damages flooding causes. Through a number of questions, learn with us about how flooding affects the environment and the people living in it!
Go Local; Save The World

How RECYCLING CAN Save Us
This podcast is about recycling and how it can save future generations of the human race from drastic climate change.
Climate Change Vs. Diet Change
"Ground and soil, cosmos and creation. Big Blue Marble". "Climate change is palpable, physical, it's real." Through this podcast we hope to being the attention of our listeners to not only the thought that the world is warming, but the fact that what you eat is closely related to home. By FSI students Julianne L., Molly J., Emma M-P., Remi B-K.
(in the tune of the Scooby Doo theme song)
"Climate advocates where are you? We've got some work to do now! People of our earth, we need you. Were ready and were willing! If we can count on you, climate babes, I know we'll save the earth!"
The Future of Salamander Ecosystems in WNC
Brought to you by FSI students Hailey C., Gus A., Elliot N., Luke S., and Grant L. ., this podcast is about the rivers and ephemeral ponds of our community in WNC. We interviewed Caroline Kennedy, a specialist in salamanders and biologist, who took us out into the environment and talked to us all about salamanders and the effects climate change has on them and the world. In this podcast we talk about the infamous and deadly cycle of not considering the environment and its effects.
Construction and Climate Change: Are They a Tie?
Before we started making this podcast, we worked with Energy Savers Network to weatherize a home. After working with ESN, we then interviewed one of the co-founders, Brad Rouse. In this podcast you will learn of climate change, what you can do to help mitigate climate change, and learn more about ESN. This whole experience gave us a new outlook on how the world is changing.
What is happening,? What we can do? How can we stop this? All these questions will be answered in this podcast.
Climate Change and Farmers
This podcast is about Hickory Nut Gap Farm, and how it's being affected by climate change. We talked to Walker Sides, the farm manager. We learned about the extreme weather events he has experienced through working there for 10 years. He has noticed many changes, and this podcast discusses them. Listen to find out more.
The End of the World as We Know It
FSI students speak about how greenhouse gases lead to people being forced away from their homes, and ways to prevent it from continuing at home. Evidence was gained by research from credible sources such as NASA and Dr. Eggers, a professor of environmental sciences at UNC Asheville.

Okra on Fire
We follow Chris Smith as he explains the effects of climate change on our atmosphere and how that is going to affect us in the future. As he explains how climate change is badly affecting us to day and will continue to in the future, Chris also offers some solutions, using okra as an example. We are also inspired by his example and decide that compost is a good way for our school to contribute.
