Featured Hot Take

Putting something that’s uniquely yours into the world isn’t easy. Don’t panic! Every innovator and leader and changemaker had to start somewhere and though the path always looks daunting when we take our first step, it’s easier than we assume. 

We spoke with Story Warren, an award-winning rising leader and community builder, to find out what it’s like to start a movement as a teenager, and what advice she has for those who want to follow in her footsteps.

We’re featuring this podcast across all five Nature Labs subjects. You might not like art, or science, or English, or social studies, but they are all related and by listening to this podcast, hopefully you’ll better understand why.

Did this story leave you with a question? 

The best questions will be answered by Environment and Climate Change Canada’s scientists on video just for you! Make sure you include your name and school.
