“We are All Antarctica”
Humanity is now 7 billion. What better way to acknowledge
this fact than by remembering we can all make a difference on our planet.
FEEL THINK ~CHOOSE CHANGE. Why?
Because we are all Antarctica! Everything that is happening
there is happening on a microcosm within ourselves, our communities, nations
and the planet. Join me in my quest to educate and entertain the public about
the importance of our connection to the Antarctic continent and it’s past,
present and future! My father George W. Gibbs, Jr.’s journey with Admiral
Byrd’s III expedition to the South Pole is an entry point for understanding the
keys to positive contribution to the human race and our planet. See my blog
