Antarctica is Melting
I keep saying that which ever side you're on regarding climate change is fine, as long as we have deep dialogue about what we are learning and what we wish to create for the future. It's critical, I believe to have authentic conversation about we what we learn and feel about climate change. Here is a link in the Christian Science Monitor that shows Antarctic melting.

Complexity, Learning and Change
Global challenges such as population control, climate change, global economics, environmental justice are complex. Complexity requires learning, creativity and collaborative action. I see a future in which we understand that collaboration is essential to move through local community and global challenges. All stakeholders are inspired to take responsibility in collective outcomes.

Gibbs Elementary, Rochester, MN to Participate in the Project!
We are All Antarctica is about personal awareness of one's own thoughts and feelings and how that connects to they way we treat others. Our social connections flow into the environment or climate we create in our family, our school, our neighborhoods, society and the planet. We are stewards our ourselves, as well as our community and planet.
Climate change is uncertain. Our ability to collaborate to solve complex social and environmental issues will make all the difference in how we co-create our future. Gibbs Elementary mission of Learning together . Caring for each other . Believing in our future is in perfect alignment with We are All Antarctica. In preparation for my trip, we will count down starting Jan. 13th to Feb. 13th initial flight date. During this month, we are learning together about climate change and how we can have a personal connection to it, in our daily lives. How do scientists work together to discover the mysteries of climate change? What is the ice saying to us as it melts? What is the wildlife experiencing?

Learning vs Education
I'm preparing my proposal for a new organization called Start Some Good. After my travel to Antarctica, I plan to pilot curricular materials for Gibbs Elementary. The purpose is to connect the concepts of 'we are all in the same boat' and thttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhat "other" is also "me". How does our inner climate of thoughts and feelings impact our actions in the outer climate of our family, our school, our neighborhood and ultimately the planet? What steps can we take to make the climate of our minds and hearts match with what we want the climate of our world to be?
