I AM a Climate Reality Leader!
In September of 2015, I campaigned and raised the funding to send me to Miami, Florida to attend what soon became a life-changing event. I’m infinitely, continuously grateful to those who supported this venture.
On September 28, 29 and 30 of 2015, I and over 1,100 other people from all 87 different countries learned from and were inspired by outstanding panelists, expert scientists, the Climate Reality Project team, and of course, former Vice President, Mr. Al Gore. Upon return, I wrestled with how to describe the experience. What words could possibly convey the true sense of overwhelming urgency, the immediate need for action, the sadness and despair, the loss, and yet………… the prevailing hope? Describing this must be like trying to describe the unconditional love a mother has for her new baby; like conveying the beauty of a most majestic sunset to a blind man; like the magic of a first kiss. Indescribable. Here’s what I can tell you. The science and facts of climate change are undeniable; the evidence is clear and our earth is warming. The changes to our home are unprecedented. And we got to this point because a lot of people (myself included) want to go far, go fast, do more, and do more with less of our own energy input. But Genesis 6:19 states, “Keep them alive with thee.” What can YOU do? Host an event, discussion group, or just get to know me in order to better understand the science of climate change. Please contact me. I will make the time. Email Vanessa Schoenecker-Karpe at [email protected]. Most importantly, thank you. ~V “The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
