Christopher Swain believes change is in the kid's hands and he's is starting a movement from the ocean up.
Christopher launched Swim for a Healthy World last Earth Day and he will swim 2,000 miles from Boston to DC to measure effects of climate change and pollution on the ocean and raise awareness about their harmful effects. So far, he's finding some pretty substantial change since he began swimming in 1995, almost 15 years ago.
While Christopher swims down the coast, he'll take nearly 5,000 samples of water and measure them for temperature and PH--two key indicators of climate change. Not only will he share this information with scientists worldwide, but he'll also use the data as evidence to connect students and teachers with what's happening in their area. The data is a tool for supporting the fact the climate is changing, for the worse. In addition to motivating individuals to change behavior, it is also a way to motivate students to learn more about science and prepare them for the challenges ahead.
In this initiative, Christopher will reach more than 10,000 children and will help launch hundreds of school projects to help teach the ones who will ultimately solve climate change--the kids.
