The Nation That Leads In

Avatar Is The Most High Tech Film In Terms Of Its Execution, Dealing With Essentially A Very Low Tech Subject; Which Is Our Relationship With Nature...and In Fact The Irony Is That The Film Is About Our Relationship With Nature And How Our Technological Civilization Has Taken Us Several Removes Away From A Truly Natural Existence And The Consequences Of That To Us.

But Failure Has To Be An Option In Art And In Exploration - Because It's A Leap Of Faith. And No Important Endeavor That Required Innovation Was Done Without Risk. You Have To Be Willing To Take Those Risks.

Climate Change Is Critical To Me Because I'm A Parent; I Feel A Sense Of Responsibility To The Future. I'm Not Going To Be Around To See Its Worst Effects, Which Are Going To Be Hitting In The 2030s, '40s, '50s, But My Kids Will.

People Of Conscience In Our Leadership In Washington Have Been Scared Off By The Right And The Fossil Fuel Lobbies. They Won't Even Use The Term "sustainability" Or "climate Change" In An Energy Bill, Which Is Ludicrous On Its Face. It Completely Ignores The Elephant In The Room That We're All Dealing With. The Average American Doesn't Even Believe Climate Change Is Real, They Think It's All A Hoax.

I Want To Challenge All Of You As People Of Deep Conscience, People Who Are Environment Stewards Of The Earth And Oceans ... By Changing What You Eat, You Will Change The Entire Contract Between The Human Species And The Natural World.
