The banner has come down, the Greenpeace activists are safe. And, I'm happy to tell you that after two hours hanging from the West End Bridge, our 80 X 30 foot banner spoke to the world leaders meeting in Pittsburgh at the G20 summit, demanding they take action on climate change.
I wanted to write you a quick message to share a new video about the G20 action. Listen to the brave activists share their stories in their own words. It's really wonderful.
I hope this video inspires you as much as it has me. The future of our world depends on all of us taking action together. If you haven't taken action yet, please do - President Obama needs to hear from all of us that we are ready for a strong global climate treaty.
Together, we can do great things.
Sincerely, Ben Smith Greenpeace Activist

No fan am I of the man Jesus, no Christian am i. A disciple of Jesus I am, an ardent greedy student, because I want the supremely joyful life that he had and told me I could have, taught me how to have, and have now attained. And infinitely more than for me, I want that joyful life for everyone, most of all, for the least of these my family of humanity. And because the dozens and dozens of great souls throughout history, what they learned and embodied, all points me to his teachings and example. For the collective joyful life of it. Jesus' disciple, James
Ps. Of one thing I am certain, that the only thing I can be certain of is that I know nothing to be true with absolute certainty. To do other than that would be to place myself in the position of allah, yahweh, God, the all-knowing, absolute truth... like the Christians do. And in that and every other way, I am not a christian.
