Sandy just broke much of the East Coast. We’ll be bearing witness by bringing people’s documentation of the storm’s impact to light. And we will be pushing our leaders to fight the climate crisis that spiked this horrific storm.

When Big Bird checks on his home, he is heartbroken to find that the storm has destroyed his nest. Big Bird’s friends and neighbors gather to show their support and let him know they can fix his home, but it will take time. While everyone on Sesame Street spends the next few days cleaning up and making repairs, Big Bird still has moments where he is sad, angry, and confused. His friends help him cope with his emotions by talking about what happened, drawing pictures together, and giving him lots of hugs. They also comfort Big Bird by offering him temporary places he can eat, sleep, and play. Big Bird remembers all the good times he had at his nest and realizes that once it is rebuilt, there are more good times and memories to come. Finally the day has come where most of the repairs to Big Bird’s home are done and his nest is complete. As he is about to try it out, though, the city nest inspector says it not safe, yet, because the mud isn’t dry. Big Bird is sad that he has to wait another day, but Snuffy comes to the rescue and blows the nest dry and he passes the test! Big Bird thanks everyone for being his friend and helping to rebuild his nest and his home.</p> <p>Please <a href="http://www.pbs.org/tv_schedules/">check your local listings</a> to see what time the episode will air on PBS.</p> </blockquote> <p>Sesame Street helps even adult viewers deal with tough situations, such as Hurricane Sandy. -BdM</p> </blockquote> <p>On Friday, Big Bird will have his own climate story to share — as his friends and neighbors help him deal with the loss of his home due to a hurricane.</p>http://climatestories.tumblr.com/post/35213521701http://climatestories.tumblr.com/post/35213521701Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:14:00 -0500sandyclimate changeclimate stories<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md31gwZcNi1rkxgfso1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md31gwZcNi1rkxgfso2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md31gwZcNi1rkxgfso3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md31gwZcNi1rkxgfso4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md31gwZcNi1rkxgfso5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md31gwZcNi1rkxgfso6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Neighborhoods destroyed in Rockaway, Queens, NY.
