It’s
been over a year now, and the Cape Fear Beach Bears are still working hard to
educate the public on Global Climate Change! One of my favorite moments of
working on this project was going to Washington, DC last February to present
our project to other delegations. It was so amazing to see a group of
individuals come together and work on an issue that we are all so passionate
about. Another highlight of working on this project was going to Bald Head
Island last year (Bald Head trip #1) and learning about the maritime forests.
Before going to Bald Head Island, I was not aware of the importance of these
forests. Learning that there could be species that live in the maritime forest
that have never even been discovered before fascinated me the most (especially
since these species could go extinct and the world would never know).
What
I really want other people to know is that global climate change is real. It is
happening. BUT, there are easy ways that we all can help effect, positively
effect, that is, the environment. Small, simple actions, such as turning of the
lights when you leave the room, taking shorter showers, and buying locally are
all ways that each person can help make an impact! So, why not? Also, I want
people to know that it is our duty to help the environment, because this is our
home, our friends home, and the home to future generations.
As
for the future of this project, I hope that the movie circulates around
Wilmington, into schools, so that the youth can learn about this issue and
start working on it early on. I also hope that the movie is shown to all ages,
because everyone can learn from it and understand where they fit in the process
of improving the environment!
