Better Must Come
The youth will inherit our mistakes…NOT fair!
A few days after the Napoleon breakdown, I went to talk at the elementary school in the nearby village, like I’ve been doing at various stops over the last few months. I give a presentation about plastic pollution its effect on marine life and use my sailing trip to help explain where currents and winds carry plastic that’s tossed in the ocean. I was thrilled to see that this island’s kids seemed especially bright and tuned in to the environmental basics…we even took an after school excursion to the village landfill!
Young minds expanding!
Talking trash at the village landfill…

I admire your courage and willingness to keep at it, in spite of the low moments. Don’t ever underestimate your impact, especially on the kids you encounter. The tide is turning, there are tens of thousands of personal, local and regional efforts afoot. This will not get solved from the top down but rather from the bottom up via a social revolution the current major world wide governments can scarely imagine
