Whales, keeping their voices down

Hai!

Bonjour, hola, yai! Today’s adventures? Woooo. Today, we explored an awesome whale graveyard. T’was mucho bon exploring. History up the wazoo. But seriously, it was very cool. There were piles and piles of whale bones, and then even the humungous spine of a sperm whale. Being there, I could feel the history. I could see the whalers running around.. chasing after their whales.. making blubber. Uhh.. I don’t really know what whalers do. But I could feel it. Then, this afternoon we went to a different place to go for a hike to, over, on, a glacier. BUT I (and some others) had to stay and do interviews, sooo we didn’t get to hike it. Bah. I could probably tell you what the glacier looks like though. It’s white.

It was fun to use all this inspiration I’ve been building up over the past week or so, and put it to use in an interview. Before this trip, I was passionate about the Earth, and about protecting the Earth, but not necessarily about climate change. In the past week, I have learned so much of the science behind climate change, learned that all that science really doesn’t matter, and then become angry that nobody is doing anything about it. It’s really so simple if everybody just committed themselves to it. But I guess committing yourself to climate change is like telling somebody you love them, when you are unsure of your family’s opinion about that person. World leaders are not only afraid of being wrong about climate change, but also about the reaction of the rest of the world toward them once they do commit. So I guess we could say world leaders are spine-less. They want, above all, to be liked by those they care about (and the Earth can’t tell the politicians how it feels about them). Gaaahh, just care, somebody! Everybody wants the power, the prestige; everybody wants to be remembered. But they refuse to take the risk. Common sense much? I guess the basic problem is that there’s no fire burning in their hearts. They are consumed and old.

Break free, become earth-wise, love me, love you, love we. Take action. You, people, readers, watchers, lovers of the world; light the fire.

Whales are nice.
