I cried when I heard them share their views about the future of the earth......
I watched a couple of short video clips (is that what they are still called) in the last few days. The first clip of less than 2 minutes is a piece of brilliance by a young woman about the future of the world. (thanks Carla from AFN) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42E2fAWM6rA
The second, The Human Sign Project for Climate Action is a production sponsored by local businesses and sustainability groups featuring children from Central and Southern Victorian schools. I cried when I heard them share their views about the future of the earth. It is very challenging to see a child look into the camera and tell you she is scared about her future and that maybe it really is the apocalypse; and enough to make you sit up and listen when a 9 year old tells you his life was changed by watching Al Gore. Their message is in a series of arial shots of human signs telling us to WORK TOGETHER, PLANT TREES, SAVE WATER, ACT NOW. Their simple and powerful message is that we need to put our differences aside and work together towards creating an ecological and sustainable generation - and we need to act on it now.
