I've enjoyed every moment of my efforts to let folks know about DD.  I'm still at it, and have some ideas about who to contact next! 
Whenever I tell folks about DD and the Eco-Challenge, they bloom with joy right before my eyes:  backs straighten, they breathe more deeply, and they are filled with wonder to know about what I call this "Green Underground!" as they hear about and take in the 
good news that DD exists, and  that there are people all over the world attempting to impact GW.  

I joined the Eco- Challenge even though I'm not competitive, and not computer savvy, but I definitely want to find non-polluting ways to exist! 
My 12 year old grandchild told me "There's no hope, Grandma",  when I mentioned global warming and Drawdown's SOLUTIONS to him.  I said "As long as I can do something I think might help to erase pollution from the world, I will."  He said "GREAT!" 

Presenting info about DD Eco-Challenge to thirty people tonight.  Looking forward to it!

Studying Thomas Berry's The Great Work- wonderful book, analyzing our systemic institutions and the ways  they must change to reach a pollution free world, based in generosity. collaboration.  

Learning about regenerating soils. 

Working to make Drawdown SOLUTIONS accessible to kids and newcomers to global warming issues by translating THEM INTO EASY-TO- READ English.  My  grandchildren 10 and 12 years old,  inspire me.
