Aspen Elementary School: “Stop Global Warming”

January 12th, 2010 by David

On my way back to California from Copenhagen, I stopped in Colorado to visit the family of my girlfriend. It was not hard to convince me to visit: they live in Aspen.

Skiing and flying are incredibly resource intensive. They are also incredibly fun and, I would argue, make my life a whole lot better. We could give up skiing and flying, or we can invest in new technologies so that future generations can fly and ski without polluting. The investment will cost money–perhaps raising the cost of flying and skiing–but the payoff will be big: the slopes of Aspen will have snow in future decades.

In addition to enjoying a few days of skiing (wow – the snow was great!), I gave a presentation to the entire 2nd grade at Aspen Elementary. Below is the entire grade telling us to stop global warming. Enjoy!
