Yesterday, Hands Across the Sand… & Tomorrow
Said Bill, attending the Carlsbad event, “What a big disappointment! There were more people crossing the street on a single green light.”
We attended Ponto, where the response was disappointing. People on the beach to swim and run (what I usually go to Ponto for! - not to protest . . .) were like deer in the headlights when asked to join a line of people holding hands for a moment to keep oil off their beach.
We have an education and awareness problem that is complicated by a sense of entitlement that may not be in alignment with physics. We are puny compared to the power of nature and the forces of our planet.
On the other hand, 100 people, each showing up at their local beach, adds up in a global moment, like grains of sand adding up to a movement. There is always hope.
