New Year’s Resolutions
My New Year Resolution is to do more blogging so here goes!
Well 2006 has already kicked into action with the work of the Greenpeace activists who are trying to disrupt the Japanese whalers. My husband Clive and I had the opportunity to meet Shane Rattenbury, Greenpeace’s Head of Oceans, when we delivered six copies of “Miracles of Hope: Surviving and Thriving in the 21st Century” to the expedition when they were berthed at Cape Town’s Harbour at the end of last year. We made a special effort to do this as there are many references to Greenpeace in the book and we felt we wanted them to know that others were acknowledging their work in different media around the world.
Some people believe that their efforts to thwart the whalers’ bloody carnage has a bit of David and Goliath about it and certainly to see video footage of one small inflatable taking on the might of a huge whaling vessel, one can get this impression. But what also comes across is the incredible bravery and commitment of these Greenpeace activists! To be a fly on the hide of an elephant takes guts and they have it in plenty - Good on ya Greenpeace!!! Our global New Year Resolution should be to do more to protect our precious EARTH!!!!
