Snowkite and Water Kite Alternative Transport
When you think about climate change it is now something that all of us view as important and real, but depending on where you live you may find it having less or more of an impact. Currently I am in Baffin Island Nunavut (that is north Canada for those of you that are unsure). We are right by the arctic circle, and here you can really see the effects of climate change. I like to snowkite, which is one of my attractions to the north, but here there are people that have lived in the area for over 10,000 years, and for the first time ever the climate is so different that traditional knowledge does not apply. If you are wondering what it looks like up here, check out the video I just shot (taken this February 2012 by Martin Hanzalek):
