New episode of locally made YouTube series makes understanding climate change easier for kids and families
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Miming and Friends, the beloved animated YouTube miniseries, has released its fourth episode, continuing its mission to educate children and families about environmental sustainability through engaging songs and animated characters.
The series is a collaboration between Mondelēz International in the Philippines, husband-and-wife content creators Ramon del Prado and Meryll Yan, and Save Philippine Seas (SPS), a non-profit organization dedicated to marine conservation.
The latest episode tackles waste mismanagement and its relationship with climate change, bringing characters together to learn about greenhouse gases and their environmental impact. The episode introduces Ghregoryo, a compelling villain character who delivers an educational song about greenhouse gas emissions and their sources.
“Episode 4 touches into the critical topic of climate change,” said Miming and Friends co-creator Meryll Yan. “We believe that by understanding the causes and effects of greenhouse gases, we can empower the next generation to become proactive environmental stewards.”
“This episode dives into how our choices can affect the ocean and our climate in many unexpected ways,” explained Anna Oposa, Chief Mermaid and Executive Director of SPS. “We hope to help the youth connect their everyday actions like energy consumption or accumulating too much waste to the larger issue of greenhouse gases and the urgent need for responsible stewardship.”
“This newest adventure on greenhouse gases reminds us that building a sustainable future is a shared responsibility, and that everyone has a role to play,” shared Caitlin Punzalan, Corporate and Government Affairs Lead at Mondelēz International in the Philippines.
The channel has grown to over 42,800 subscribers, reflecting the series’ effectiveness in delivering important environmental messages to family audiences. Through the adventures of anthropomorphic cat-fish Miming and her friends, the series inspires young viewers to take positive environmental action.
