For #earthday, I came all the way to Driftwood Middle School in Hollywood, FL to do two @protectourwinters Hot Planet/Cool Athletes presentations, reaching about 1400 students. When POW asked me if I would go, I didn't think about it for too long. Going to Florida today was a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect the dots between melting snow and ice and rising sea levels, which threatens their hometown and way of life. It's a good reminder that we are all connected as inhabitants of planet earth. The students saw the connection, and I urged them to become leaders in the fight against climate change. Since I started doing these presentations, I've talked to close to 10,000 students in five states across the nation. Talking to these students is inspiring because they don't see limits- they only see possibilities. The future of climate change leadership is bright. Happy earth day everyone.
