Peak Moment

Janaia Donaldson from Peak Moment TV was with us today. Locally, Peak Moment TV plays on channel 24 on AMP television. The episodes address "perspectives and initiatives for local self-reliant living in the face of energy, climate, and economic uncertainty."

In the studio today, Janaia and Deborah switched places, giving Deborah a chance to share why she is passionate about Tomorrow Matters. As a mother of two, it is important that she does all that she can and will never have to answer the question of, "Why didn't you do anything, Mom? You didn't do everything you could to make a difference?" Deborah shared some incredible exercises with us that help children understand the intensity of our fossil fuel dependence. My favorite is the lesson plan in which you chart a story of where a can of chicken soup comes from, followed by a discussion about the energy used in the process. I wish we all had the chance to experience these types of lessons as young children.

Thank you Janaia for speaking today! Please visit Peak Moment for more info.
