‘SOS from the Kids’ was written after Sim and Noah learnt about humankind’s destruction of nature at school. The brothers came home telling their mum about the number of trees cut down per day, the state of the insects and the amount of energy and resources that are consumed to make a t-shirt. Watching David Attenborough’s ‘Climate Change – The Facts’ alerted them to the crisis this destruction was causing. It had been Attenborough’s nature programmes that had first inspired their boyhood fascination with bugs and insects, so they started to talk about changes they could make at home that would help the insects and animals.
