Antarctica 2041

Sir Robert Swan, an advocate for the protection of Antarctica and renewable energy, spoke at dinner this evening during the 11th Annual Waterkeeper Alliance Conference. Swan was the first person to walk to both the North and South Poles and has dedicated his life to the preservation of Antarctica by the promotion of recycling, renewable energy, and sustainability to combat the effects of climate change. His organization, Antarctica 2041, has been established to engage and inspire “the next generation of leaders to take responsibility, to be sustainable, and to know that now is the time for action in policy development, business generation and future technologies.” Visit his website here.

Swan ended his presentation with his quote, “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”
