I'm still mostly on planet Copenhagen, but wanted to thank you all again! Next I'll be headed to Washington in February, to continue the work I started with US delegates, envoys, and congress. Tomorrow its time for a break - skiing into the Friends hut for a four-day xmas in the woods! I definitely need to recharge the batteries!A very short video on our walk:

Posted project update #27Video thanks!
Post CommentI'm at Cop15 - kicking ass and taking names. The media exposure of dragging my skis around has been beyond imagination - I have been doing about 20 interviews a day - China, India, Scotland, US, Canada, France, Ireland, Switzerland......... and on and on. I was even interviewed on the official COP15 station yesterday, just before the President of Mexico!
Here is a link to my special thankyou to you all...

Posted project update #26meeting the stars
Post CommentWow - this event is really exceeding my expectation. My skis just drew the attention of one of the key mediators of the WHOLE UNFCCC event - H E Mr Michael Zammit Cutajar Chair of the Working Group on Long-Term Cooperative Action. HOLY #$%*. He is soooo huge, and I had to ask him who he was and what he did. Embarrassing but thrilling. Also today - interviews with a zillion folks, and got my whole calendar filled with interviews for tomorrow. I made the New York Times this morning!!
Optimism is high here with Obama, China and India leaders changing their plans to attend next weeks critical talks.

Posted project update #25We made it to Brussels!
Post CommentHoly shit, sorry for my language, but we made it to Brussels today!! My body and feet feel quite great today, but I'm glad this leg is over. The most depressing thought is that we could have taken a train from London and gotten here in 2 hours, while it took us two weeks to walk. But quite an accomplishment. Roz and I are presenting for the United Nations at a press conference tomorrow, and we are very nervous. This sets the stage for the whole Copenhagen hoopla for us... wish us luck and THANKS again for helping save our snow and our planet.

Posted project update #24Is it true??
I can't believe it - so many goals happening today - we are a mere 10 miles from walking into Brussels - so close we can taste it! And it looks like the pledge goal was reached today. The planet thanks you. My poor sore feet thank you. The snow thanks you.
