2010 Global Teach-In New York/The Web

yesterday was amazing. it was a scary thing to sit on a stage and know that there are a quarter of a million people around the world listening to you. When Dr James Hansen spoke about his analysis of OUR impact on the planet, my mind seemed to stop and accelerate simultaneiously. I knew in my gut and heart that Climate Change was a real issue - now my head has caught up and I know that we ALL must act. This was an important moment for me - for all of us. we know that buildings account for about half of ALL of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. we also know that we can reduce this. we must. each of us bear a bit of the responsibility to do something.
when my kids look me in the eyes and ask 'What are you doing about climate change?'. i want to be able to give them a straight answer so that when i am dead they will know that i did my part to not just stop the damage, but to try to reverse it.
