Overview
1. Prepare to have a conversation about Climate Justice with a friend or family member. Climate Justice and Chemistry Conversation
Prepare your topic with some information and references. You can use prompts from the Heat slides I used last week if you don't have your own agenda. Or, you can do a bit of research and write an informative post about a topic you care about that was not covered (~200 words max).
Plan a specific question to ask, such as "What do you think?" or "When did you first hear about this issue?" or some other question that you genuinely want to know.
Select a person or audience based on your own comfort level with them, and your own interest in their perspective or way of thinking. Ask if they are willing to speak with you about climate change.
