Ooh maybe I should make a riddle of the week...That'd be cool =) And listen to the end for the answer to the title riddle.

We continue our talk on what I learned in Alaska. Last week we talked about the History of the discovery of the climate. This week we talk more about root causes and also – what you can do. Because we won't solve this as individuals. We need to fight on the same level as the oil industries.

Did you get the joke? Here's another hint just so JUNEAU, because if you don't just say "IDAHO, ALASKA!"

Don't search it up! It's one my friends and I made up – so you won't find it anywhere else =) I'll tell you in the next episode.

All information comes from Zach from Tidelines Institute! Thank you so much!

We all know the devastating effects of Microplastics on the environment and on human health. But, there is still a lot of research lacking on how to prevent these microplastics from entering the local ecosystem (at least in our community). So, we tracked the movement of these micro particles to figure out how to stop them. And we won the Stockholm Regional Junior Water Prize for this =)

Movie production time! We go over the steps of movie making, and brief over the people who make these movies possible! This is an extremely oversimplified version of how movies are made - but it is also still extremely interesting. There is so much work going into these movies - so - I hope you learn some more insights into how these are made.

In this episode we finish up our talk on memory. We are adding to what we learned last episode in this series and finishing with SSDs and RAM. We also talk a lot of designing for purpose.
