For the first time, a resident of Sesame Street is experiencing homelessness. Lily, a 7-year-old bright pink Muppet, was introduced in 2011 and originally described as being food insecure because her family lacked consistent access to food. In new online videos, stories and resources, her storyline has expanded to include that her family has lost their home and now must stay with friends. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street,” hopes Lily will raise awareness and help children experiencing homelessness feel less alone.

These 24 ice blocks are melting in front of London’s Tate Modern museum to highlight climate change. Although we may have seen photographs of the melting ice caps, we rarely have a physical experience of these conditions, Tate Modern said.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The ice blocks, which weighed between 1.5 and 5 tons when they were installed, were fished out of a fjord in Greenland after detaching from an ice sheet. Scandinavian artist Olafur Eliasson partnered with geologist Minik Rosing for the Ice Watch installation, which is open to the public through December 20. The ice melting in Central London is meant to serve as a reminder that more Arctic ice is melting as a result of global warming, contributing to a rise in sea levels.

It was pretty magical, Wolf said.
