Ocean Aci-di-fi-ca-tion, Anyone? --

Meet Ruby the Climate Kid - a Gamilaraay girl fiercely passionate about saving the planet Ruby, age 6, is an avid reader of environmental newsletters and non-fiction books about wildlife. She is influenced by scientists and researchers such as, Neil deGrasse Tyson and David Suzuki and in particular, she lists Sir David Attenborough as her hero.

She says, "Ever since I was a baby Sir David has been teaching me about nature and how to protect it." As an Indigenous Australian, Ruby says she was taught that plants and trees care for humans, if humans are willing to care for them - if a person talks to a plant, it will eat their carbon dioxide and give you things in return; food, healing or simply oxygen. In order to save the planet, Ruby is asking people to follow her 'Climate Kid' cause and she will send them one seed to plant a tree.

"We can save the planet together, one plant at a time."

THIS IS RUBY'S MOM:
