Hello from Washington!
If you’re still checking this blog, THANKS! You are awesome, as I’ve no doubt told you at some point or another. If this is your first visit to the page, welcome! Please feel free to look around! Since I’ve been home, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the Voyage program and what the next steps should be for me in relation to the global climate movement. First off, I’ve been in touch with the spectacular folks at 350.org about trying to collaborate with us at the WWF’s Voyage for the Future program in terms of spreading the movement of The Green Finger Project, which I hope you’ve heard about. We’ll be doing a lot of work on Green Finger in the days and weeks to come, so stay tuned. I’ve also been doing a lot of prep work involved in how to help shake up the existing climate movement and I’m ALMOST ready to make what I hope to be a big splash, so keep a heads up!
Not surprisingly, I’m not the only one who’s been keeping busy. Eunice and the rest of the WWF-US crew has successfully created the most spectacular web-page dedicated to the Voyage for the Future on the WWF-US site. You should check it out! if you click on my name, which is towards the top of the page, you can see all my video-blog entries that I made on the trip which haven’t been up on the internet yet. I like to think their goofy and fun, but also provide good insight into the Voyage. The site also includes the infamous “Aspen Group” video, which will be shown to a group of influential leaders who are going to be in the Arctic, including Former Pres. Jimmy Carter, former Sec. of State Madeline Albright, Former Sen. Tom Daschle, Prince Albert of Monaco, founder of Google Larry Paige, the CEO of Shell-US, the CEO of Chevron, many representatives of international NGOs, and LOADS of other cool people. I hope you watch the video – I know the crew at icentials, WWF, and Flashstudio worked REALLY hard on it! Also, Casper and Soli teamed up to make this cool Green Finger video at Futerra. Check it out and then MAKE YOUR OWN. Post it as a response to the YouTube Green Finger video we made on the Voyage for the Future (it’s further down on this blog…under Sunday, June 22nd.
In addition many others, especially WWF-Norway and WWF-Russia, are doing a GREAT JOB spreading the Green Finger. Check out THIS poster from Norway featuring the lovely Maria Waag: plakat_22
Hopefully, I’ll be able to post some more concrete information up here in the next week, but for now, I’m checking out! Thanks! P
