The kids are alright…

It’s been a full week at COP15.  Loads of speeches, endless political maneuvering, and sporadic protests and stunts intended to create media coverage have dominated the news coverage so far.  But what’s perhaps made the greatest impression on me are the thousands of young people who have come to Copenhagen for this first week to make their voices heard. Next week will have scores of world leaders arrive on the stage here, but what’s really blown me away so far has been how incredibly articulate, well informed and composed these kids are.

Check out Gabe and Olivia’s latest Copenhagen Dispatch, with a video assist from yours truly.  Just don’t tell the Cinematographers Union back at home that I was working the camera!
