LEADERSHIP ECOLOGY ADVENTURE PROGRAM
5400 Marine Ave V8A 2L6 Powell River, BC, Canada

Hi folks, I'm looking forward to presenting ANTARCTIC IN DEPTH tomorrow night at the Max Cameron Theatre in Powell River.... it's the first time I will be prese...nting in Powell River and I look forward to introducing myself, my photography and sharing a few stories with you from my experiences as Photographer in residence aboard expedition ships in Antarctica! Antarctica has been in the news lately for its record breaking temperatures, I just returned from 40 days down on the "White Continent" and just happened to be near Esperanza Research Station where that temperature reached its all time high. This 1.5 hr evening presentation showcases the Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia in the South Sandwich Islands, highlights the wildlife, landscape and relevant environmental concerns that are occurring here and now in this remote region of our big blue marble! This is a partial fundraiser for the Powell River Climbing Co-op, co-sponsored by COAST MOUNTAIN ACADEMY I look forward to spending an evening with you!

We are so uplifted by well informed, astute and passionate youth. It’s not always easy to do the right thing. Remember, if the status quo is upset - it’s likely because you are on the right side of history.

In Sweden, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg has been protesting inaction on climate change since August, going on strike from school every Friday to sit outside her c...ountry's parliament. Greta writes for the Guardian Australia about why she believes Australian students should join her: "The adults have failed us. And since most of them, including the press and the politicians, keep ignoring the situation, we must take action into our own hands, starting today." full Guardian story: https://gu.com/p/a274h/au Greta at Extinction Rebellion (Oct, 2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8prVarP-rQ Excellent Sustainable Hour interview with Greta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3poPEkiEeqI Greta's school strike speech (Swedish, English subs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrGp56ViaJs New Internationalist interview with Greta (English subtitles) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmM9gmbx4tk "In general Greta prefers action to conversation.
