Environment

This is a message from Green T to President Barack Obama. We hope that he will watch it. We wanted to point out the apparent shortage of information being put out by President Obama’s Staff regarding Environmental Policies. It seems that there’s not very much news or coverage of any type about it. We acknowledge that there are plenty of problems the the President and the U.S. is facing. However, Mother Earth isn’t waiting for an economy to recover or a war to be over and she can’t heal herself. We would like President Obama to watch this and respond, as we would like to help him spread the word about his plans! Shot in HD with a Panasonic HPX170.

For us HOPE means, Healing Our Planet Earth.
