For example, extreme swimmer Christopher Swain (www.changents.com/christopherswain) this morning is plunging into the ice cold Atlantic Ocean to do a 1,000 mile free crawl from Marblehead, Massachusetts to Washington DC to call attention to the challenges we're facing as an ocean planet. More importantly, though, he is coming ashore to help 2,000 classrooms develop projects to protect the oceans. His story is extraordinary. He is the first person to swim the entire length of the Columbia River, the Charles River, the Hudson River, and Lake Champlain, surviving collisions with boats, 12-foot waves, Lamprey Eel attacks, and waste contaminated with everything from arsenic to nuclear waste. Christopher has made water-based education presentations to over 53,000 North American schoolchildren. Oprah, meet a real change agent!

I mean, after all this is our only home... And it's so easy going green! You don't have to change your entire life. It's the little things that summed up make all the difference.
