Don't give up

For Climate Campaigners who are tired, or feeling alone, or finding themselves lacking;

We do make a difference.

It is a privilege to work on the most important issue of our generation.

If we win, the future won’t know.  Like the CFC issue, young people will know nothing about the struggle but they will live with the result.

There are millions of us.

In The Climate Project alone, there are over three thousand of us trained by Al Gore, presenting The Inconvenient Truth.  Two years ago when I trained, it took five months to find my first audience -- now I present at least weekly.  Two years ago there were two presenters in my country -- now there are seventeen.

We make a difference in our own arenas:  Our public campaigning, our private conversations, the way we live our lives, the writing of policy, the advising of governments and CEOs, and the planning for emergencies. We may make coffee and cake for those who are out front, or perform simple acts of service in the garden. We may nurture and raise our children to understand that we are part of nature.

There are thousands of organizations across the planet working on this issue.

There are a handful of Government Officials who we need to influence. 

We are business people, musicians, authors, scientists, farmers, mothers, fathers and children. 

We can do this.  We do make a difference.
