ENVIRONMENT
Stop Talking about Climate Change and Global Warming
It’s the wrong message.
“Forecasting Armageddon has become trendy of late, with a great deal of attention being given to an interpretation of the Mayan Calendar suggesting that Mother Earth is destined for doom in December of 2012.”
— Seth Shostak
Let’s see if we can have a thoughtful discussion here.
Let me also just get it out of the way that all of my work is in education, the environment and empowering women.
The school I ran is the most eco-friendly, environmentally oriented school in the world. We run mostly on solar, have hosted Dr. Jane Goodall and Vandana Shiva, our students have led some of the largest environmental initiatives in Indonesia, we run our buses on biogas, and the entire school is made of bamboo and there is no air conditioning.
We were awarded the 2012 Greenest School on Earth by the U.S. Green Building Council.
So I’m not some guy sitting on the sidelines.
But our messaging is completely wrong when it comes to the environment and climate.
