Influences
I have been very fortunate to see a number of places on this planet that I would consider nearly perfect, whether it's the Ross Ice Shelf in the Antarctic or the fjords of Tierra del Fuego. There is amazing beauty in the natural world and you don't always have to travel a long way to experience its full potential. I have been influenced through various means, whether it's from my father's adventures, my mother's artwork or role models that I look up to. Influences can come from everywhere and they can affect how we think. With the right influences, we should make the right decisions.
"The environment is changing, so must we."
"The quality of water and the quality of life in all its infinite forms are critical parts of the overall health out planet - not just here in the Amazon, but everywhere. We need to show people that we need to take better care of the environment. We want to do this through adventure, through participation, through education, through employment. To win you have to believe you can do it. You have to be passionate. You have to really want the result. We want to make a difference."
Sir Peter Blake
"People protect what they love."

"I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored."

"We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one."
Jacques Yves Cousteau
