Thanks, Birdie. Fear not, I will be continue to follow my instincts as to what is or isn’t right to help the cause. We need to raise awareness any which way we can. Different methods will reach different people.

I don’t agree with John and Susie, I think this stunty stuff is really great, and it looks like a lot of fun too, and I think it fits in with Roz’s image/message just fine! Who cares what other people think, if they label her as nutty activist. I think we’re all nuts using coal and oil energy knowing that we’re killing the planet, animals, and ourselves. Keep it up Roz, this is great!

Congrats on your Mount Kinabalu climb. I just recently summited Mount Rainier of the cascade mountain range. The feeling of standing on a summit of such mountains in incomparable. Keep up the good work with 350.org. I attended a rally the organized in Salt Lake City, Utah last year.. They are good people with the right vision of the future.

Roz, agree with John on this one. Don’t become just another activist doing “stunty” stuff. I personally have no problem with it, and was about to post it to my facebook page. But I hesitated for some reason. When I scrolled further I saw that John put into words what my hesitation was. Although the cause is worthy, we do not want you to be dismissed as one of the “loony fringe environmentalists”. Your fans would never think that, but there are media outlets that would have a field day lumping you with what they call the nut jobs. Bummer.

“It also heralded my move from environmental campaigning at the high-level/conceptual level into activism at the specific, local level.”

I hope this is not a permanent move, Roz. You strength hitherto has been your ability to attract followers to the cause by your publicly brave and unusual tendency to row around in risky oceans. Becoming just another activist will reduce your impact. Join in “activism” by all means, but never lose sight of your importance as a leader and publicist of the movement. You are famous for being who you are, and that is too valuable to risk losing.

Hello Roz. Way to fly. Like Doug, extremely pleased to see you still burning tons of calories while letting mine turn to flab as I sit at my desk. 19 more months and the lock on the chain to my desk will fall off and set me free. 90 minutes of focused exercise each day is never enough, but my critiques on political waste, environmental abuse, and destruction of habitats does contribute to some positive results.

You stared with knee-shaking determination! Maybe the knees still shake sometimes, but the purpose served is well worth the energy burned. Waiting for the day you ride the star you’re reaching for, reaching for…

Sweet, Roz! Not sure if I am having one of Jan’s “old man” moments or one of Joan’s “dusty eye” moments, but I sure am proud of you ;-D
