Travel is Life's video: We Can Change The Future

The best time to clean up a river was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now! 💧 SHARE THIS VIDEO and help spread the message that, "We can change the future!" Subscribe to Travel is Life for new videos on Tuesdays: https://travelislife.org/friends Facebook: https://facebook.com/travelislifeorg Join me in Tena Ecuador for a Sunday morning river cleanup with Professor Velez and his English class as we explore an environmental movement that's happening all over the world. Professor Velez used to live in an area where the rivers were extremely polluted, but when he moved to Tena, he found the complete opposite... a community that respects their land and water systems. So he started this project in his classroom to ensure that the next generation do their part to KEEP it that way. Just like the health of our own bodies, preventative measures are the best way to take care of the health of our planet. Today we cleaned up the Tena River, which is arguable one of the cleanest rivers I've ever seen. But Velez thinks, why wait for otherwise? It's not just about cleaning what's dirty, but about keeping what's clean pristine. The world is becoming aware and people and policies are changing. Movements take momentum and the tide is shifting.

I'm thrilled to help spread your positive message and outlook on our futures.
