The following links showcase projects that Rupert Fee, a very innovative, determined, and hardworking good friend, has been working on for some time now. These environmental projects are groundbreaking on many levels, covering areas such as reproductive health, sub-Saharan regeneration, and soil sequestration. I encourage you to take a moment to explore these links; they may energize and inspire you. Regardless, they all provide insight that can bring hope and assistance to areas most in need, while also contributing to mitigating the effects of global warming.

You may have seen the TV ads from wecansolveit.org. 

Here is a little from their site that should be of interest to us all:

The We Campaign is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection — a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. Our ultimate aim is to halt global warming. Specifically we are educating people in the US and around the world that the climate crisis is both urgent and solvable.

I have joined up and started to tell my friends. I believe this is one way we can all make a difference. Please chack it out and ask all your friends to take a look. Together we can make a difference. Let’s sign and show that we do have a voice!!  Check out wecansolveit.org

Thank you and let’s make it happen,
