Throughout this project, I have learned many things. The most poignant lesson, however, is that the climate issue effects all species. I first realized this when I stood on Bald Head Island and realized that animals could potentially go extinct because of our actions. Because of the simple choices we make each and every day. It is through those same simple choices that we make a difference on the world. How big of a difference we make is up to us. Not everyone will become a "hippie," and fulfill that stereotype. But we can take our resusable bags. And we can recycle. And we can save water. What's more, we can save the earth if we act with it in mind. It's as simple as that. Act with the earth in mind. Before you throw something away, think about where it might end up. Before you answer the question "Paper or Plastic?" at the checkout line, ponder if there might be a better solution. The bottom line, friends, is to do the best we can, when we can, and where we can. If each and every person did that, then the world would be a better place to live.
Enjoy some never before seen pictures of our journey!
The View from our Hotel at night.
The group in front of the treasury with some of their finest products...
Mr. Bishop with the California state symbol. Coincidentally, it is also Isaac Bear's Mascot! :)
In Washington, they don't have "stairs." They have Internal Relocation Sites.
Jean Michel Cousteau speaking to the summit.
This was the view on the way to Washington.
My favorite picture yet. The view on the way home. The light represents bright things on the horizon for our group and our project!
Thanks for all your support in this process!
