In November last year I met Robert Swan, the polar explorer (Antarctica 2041).
His message; "The Greatest Threat to OUR planet is our belief that SOMEONE ELSE will SAVE it," really instilled in me, a need to take action now!
In February 2018, I will join Robert Swan and his team CLIMATE FORCE 2018 https://explorerspassage.com/climateforce-robert-swan/ on an expedition to Antarctica to learn about the impact of climate change and how renewable resources can play a huge and extremely important part in protecting our planet now and in the future.
In the last few years I have become very passionate about the responsibility we each have towards environmental sustainability. I am very aware of the impact we can have on our own lives, the lives of others and of animals when we begin to make small positive changes and encourage others to follow our example. As a teacher, my aim is to learn from this wilderness and then share my knowledge and solutions on climate change to inspire others to become sustainability champions, so that people and the planet can prosper together.
If you can, please support me in this once in a lifetime venture to the last true wilderness on earth and I can help your school or organisation to implement actionable solutions towards a better future. In return for your donation, I am offering numerous rewards.
Thank you in advance.
