How we prepare youth for today’s reality will shape our future. Climate and water education plays a powerful role for K-12 students across Colorado. While some elements are required in the state academic standards, local school districts ultimately decide what is taught in the classroom. Youth learning opportunities depend heavily on community support, organizational capacity and political will.

This 30-minute documentary explores what environmental education looks like across the state, focusing on the Four Corners region as one of the focal areas. How do educators, parents, decision-makers and students collectively move from ache to action, in a way that makes climate education accessible for all?
