Changing the World – One Piece of Luggage at a Time

An amazing thing happened the other day when I went to go buy a new piece of luggage (my old luggage is on its last legs). I was standing in line at checkout, and the lady behind me asks me where I am going. I said, “of all things, I’m headed to the Arctic Ocean.” The lady and her son became all excited, and started asking 20 questions. I explained there were scientists going from all over the world, to study the ocean, the atmosphere, and climate in general, and that I was going as an educator to document the expedition and share it with the public. As I was about to leave, the lady says “the public so needs to understand more. Good luck sweetie, you all go change the world.” That just made my whole day.

  1. As a fellow lover of Earth and all of its Ocean Water I would love to say thank you for taking on this trip to the Arctic Ocean. Until last week I was starting to think no one stood under the idea that this Ocean in particular is extremely special beyond comparison. For now I’m currently in a loss for words but as this voyage continue I will be sure to support you and everyone else heading to the Arctic Ocean. I’m interested in the North Pole NOT because of Santa but because I am aware of the fact that tons of caps have melted or relocated.
