On Sunday, the 1st of September, the Youth Climate Group held a festival in the centre of Gloucester called What Can I Do? WCID for short.

For this episode of the Green Pledge Podcast we asked young people at the festival about their feelings about the climate and ecological crisis, what they themselves do to address it, what they see as barriers to young people. What they'd like to say about the crisis to people in power now, and to people 50 years in the future.

Important records to collect for the archive.
