This is a great on-the-scene video from a chartity CEO. Whenever you can get to the frontlines of where the action happens for your organization, the impact of your message will be much stronger. Imagine her giving this same pitch from behind her desk.

The Power of One
How will you use your power of one? You can make a difference.
This is a beautiful video promoting the cause of fighting climate change. The image of the island leader is particularly powerful. It’s just too bad we are still debating these issues.
Uploaded by unitednations on Sep 18, 2009 Let’s make 2009 the year the world finds an answer to climate change.
The numbers dont sound big, but their effects could be cataclysmic. A 2C rise above pre-industrial levels would see 20-40% of the Amazon die off within 100 years. A 3C rise would see 75% of the forest destroyed by drought over the following century, while a 4C rise would kill 85%. (Nature Geoscience).
However there is good news. The worst of global warming can still be avoided if Greenhouse gases levels are cut substantially.
Look at the inspiring figures here who have joined the Seal the Deal! campaign and given us their time, talent and energy to help make the world a better place.
We look forward to seeing your name here too.

This video delivers a very powerful message and doesn’t even need any words. In the internet age of global reach, this approach makes even more sense to appeal to people regardless of their mother tongues.
If you can convey your cause in a single image, you have a great start on getting people to support it. bolemia anorexia
