Kayaking 4 Earth

Steve Posselt, the creator of this action, is actually kayaking on rivers and other waterways to bring awareness of the enormous earth changing problems already occurring due to Climate Change, in the hopes of activating us to do the right things.

Steve, an engineer and author, started his kayaking journey in his homeland, Australia, continued onto the mighty Mississippi and along the eastern coastline of the US up to the Statue of Liberty and the Hudson River.

He will further kayak in England and France arriving along the Seine River in Paris before the upcoming Climate Summit being held there from November 30 through December 11, 2015.
