"We're the ancestors of the many generations to come, and we have a chance to do something, and to change the world for the better," says Ta'kaiya, a 12-year-old from the Sliammon Nation, who was inspired to become an environmental activist after learning about the destruction caused by the Northern Gateway Pipeline in Canada. At the Fish Collection of The American Museum of Natural History, curator Melanie Stiassny talks with kids about the impact of warming temperatures and pollution on a species of fish called the Mummichog. "The biggest problem of my generation is trying to figure out how to live on this planet with everything else, without destroying the planet," explains Aji (13) who's concerned about the possibility of oil-train explosions in his hometown of Seattle, and performs a song with his brother, Adonis, that he wrote to spread awareness. Back at the museum, curator Mark Siddall educates kids on how climate change will affect species like the mosquito and the giant crab. Finally, Ta'kaiya returns with a song ("Earth Revolution") about the responsibility the next generation has to act now. Interspersed are readings by Tina Fey (about the monarch butterfly), Jeffrey Wright (wildflowers) and Liam Neeson (sea butterfly), with performances by Lennon & Maisy and Stephin Merritt.Show more
