Roberta spoke at Wednesday's keynote presentation and her passion and commitment showed as she talked about Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth climate project message.
Al Gore personally trained Roberta in Nashville to present his climate change message publicly. She said every action taken by an individual or organization that is positive and measurable is meaningful.
Roberta provided clear data about how the planet is becoming hotter and the stated the 9 of the 10 hottest year occurred in our last decade. She provided three reasons why our planet's temperature is changing. I. Population 2. Scientific and technological advances 3. The way we think.
The third reason, the way we think is harder to understand because people may not believe that we have caused the planet to become warmer based on our activities such as industry or driving. Many people don't believe this is a real problem.
Roberta said the misunderstanding is based on media perspective, which tries to explain both sides of the story, when scientific journals clearly and unanimously agree that the planet is warming and burning fossil fuels is a major culprit. We get 86 percent of our energy from burning fossil fuels!
She said every action taken by an individual or organization that is positive and measurable is meaningful. She changed her consulting business into Planet Partnership. It's an organization that educates people to take action in their own lives to reduce their carbon footprint.
Her message was clear, there are no national boundaries when discussing climate change and we're all in this together. So, let's take action and make a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint!
