Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the environmental issues the show raises. What is global warming, and how does it affect plants and animals? Why are certain kinds of animals, like the crocodiles and flamingoes in Africa, becoming extinct? What are the scientists doing about it? How are Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler helping to save these species? What other ideas do they have for protecting the environment and informing kids around the world about these issues? How do you think you could help? What is the media's role in issues like conservation and environmentalism? Whose responsibility is it to "spread the word"?
