You Can’t Grow Home Again

“You Can’t Grow Home Again” examines what happens when a community faces environmental damage that threatens the place families have called home for generations. Through interviews with residents, scientists, and local officials, the episode explores how pollution, land misuse, and changing ecosystems can force people to rethink their relationship with the land around them. Blending personal stories with environmental science, the special helps teens understand how human choices shape the health of their communities—and why protecting the environment is essential to preserving the places we love.
