Last night I watched the film, 'A Sea Change' and it really moved me. The film followed a retired teacher on his journey to learn about the impacts of ocean acidification to both marine life and us. As Sven, the teacher, learned about some of our irreversible impacts to the ocean, he wrote letters to his grandson to explain what was happening to marine species. The film was amazing and really makes me want to get more political about the need for our government to support an alternative energy resource. But what works?
I have signed MANY online petitions, sent letters to political reps., protested - but I don't think any of these have been effective to activate change. The money filtering in from corporations is like a tidal wave against our little 'save the earth' signs. I'm not rich and don't have the answers, but I know there are plenty out there. I guess that is part of the journey.
