"The Good Stuff" is a monthly podcast that showcases children problem solvers who've figured out how to 'flex their citizen muscle' and find solutions to a huge range of environmental and social problems.
In the podcast below, children who live in California formed a 'kids that care' group with the purpose of solving the problem of Crayola felt tips ('markers') which cannot been recycled.
If you layed out end-to-end all the Crayola markers made each year, they would stretch around the world THREE times. Since they cannot be recycled, they all end up in the rubbish dump.
Listen on iTunes to how these children got involved to solve this problem.

The podcast is 12 minutes long.

CRAYOLA..........
I like how little kids are changing the world that we live in. I like that we too could help. I also like making things out of recycled materials. I think that we should all try to recycle more often. By Kahu
