What the Frack?! Grab Your Cimate Change Kids and Watch

Love this video from from David Holmes and the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at NYU – and so will the kids in your life! It is hard to imagine that a complicated subject like “Fracking” can be “fun.” But this video is fun, and helps us understand something that is happening around us, as our insatiable quest for energy has taken a wrong turn.

Grab the kids, watch this video, and get informed!
