This morning I found myself thinking about the root causes for why people find it so difficult to address the degradation of the planet. A frequent thought. I remembered my trip to Copenhagen last December, during the UN Climate Change Talks. We were producing a focus piece on the OCEANS and CLIMATE CHANGE.

People had come from all corners of the earth to see what could be done in the face of a climate changed by us. Many looked to the leaders of two countries, China and America, for big strides. Instead, these countries shuffled. These leaders shuffled because their people are shuffling. Why are Americans shuffling?

Wandering through one of the peaceful protests on Copenhagen’s, I smiled to see a model of earth held in the arms of youthful spirits.
