Copeland explains that a warmer climate means less food which stresses socio-political systems which means more conflict! #UBRENEW

'How do we fit into all of this?' Copeland says, we have only been here a short time relative to the history of the planet, yet we are causing rapid change #UBRENEW

Copeland crossed Greenland from South to North. Map shows his camping locations on the trip. He tells the audience stories of his adventure with spectacular photos along his journey. #RENEW

Copeland says the thin layer of ice surrounding the Artic is what is threatened due to global warming. Used to be about 10 to 12 ft. thick, now about half that! The thinner it gets, the faster it will go! #RENEW

More diversity = more resilience.
Better metric is health or nutrition per acre instead of yield per acre for sustainable and resilient communities. #UBRENEW

The ultimate solar panel is the plant! #UBRENEW

Chemical food uses ten times more water than organic food #UBRENEW

[Susan Spierre Clark @sspierre23]

When you make food artificially cheap (through subsidies) you create food waste. Food waste is the other side of food deserts...#UBRENEW

'We need to RENEW our ability to feed ourselves' #UBRENEW

'Linear, extractive, profitmaking thinking is a poverty generating system' says Dr. Shiva, she also says our so called food system is really an anti-food system! #UBRENEW

[Susan Spierre Clark @sspierre23]

Dr. Shiva says that poor land use changes leads to less biodiversity, decreases our health, increases erosion, increases emissions, enhances climate change, all too benefit a select few. #UBRENEW
