In today’s Big Story podcast, Joshua Ostroff remembers being terrified of the end of world when he was a kid. That meant something completely different in the 1980s than it does now, but he still sees that fear in kids today, including his own. That’s why he dropped everything to be a real part in the fight against climate change–for his son, and all future generations.
