Planet, Education, Attitude and Kids

The Environmental Sailing Academy Trust has been formed for charity purposes. It was established to:

• Learn and educate that we all live under the same sky and the Earth is for everyone
• Facilitate scientific research and education on environmental matters
• Provide young people access to character building programmes through sailing

• Select, and inspire emerging young leaders from all nations of the world.

The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. We’re already seeing changes.  Scientists are however divided on what causes these changes. Is it natural cyclic process? Are these changes caused by movement of magnetic North? Or, it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence.

 "Global warming has now got to the stage where it is only maintained by media self-censorship. If the general public ever got to know of the scandals surrounding the collection and processing of data, or that there has been no detectable warming for the last decade, the whole movement would be dead in the water; but they don’t, so it isn’t. It has become the most powerful myth in human history, sending much of the world into a downward helix of economic decline. It is a tenuous hypothesis supported by ill-found computer models and data from botched measurement, dubiously processed." John Brignell  - http://www.climatescience.org.nz

 “Nature is innocent, abundant – but unforgiving. We have exploited her resources and she’s responding like a mirror, reflecting our gluttony, and plunder with dwindling resources, pollution, unclean air, unsafe water, toxic food, and cancerous by-products of technology. As we change our environment to suit our short-range ambitions, we risk the very survival of the human race.” – Dr. Denis Waitley (The Psychology of Winning)

“ The saddest aspect of life is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. ”

education and catastrophe”

VALUES

“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone
monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others”

- Pericles (495 - 425 BC

Sharing of knowledge We share information appropriately and responsibly. We listen and work collaboratively. We believe in openess and effectiveness. We believe in straight dealing in all matters. Respect for the environment and natural  resources Sustainability is a key word. Good balance between what man needs and what he can get out of the environment is vital. Our responsibility is to keep the environment in balance for generations to come.

Dedication to scientific research We see scientific research as a way of finding the facts and developing solutions. Respect and dignity for animals We agree with the following statement:“They (animals) breathe like we breathe. Their hearts beat like our hearts.”

Developing people to their full potential We are committed to ensuring that skills, knowledge and talent are proactively identified and developed, and that our people are encouraged to challenge boundaries and develop leading-edge environmental solutions. Freedom, justice and peace Freedom, justice and peace are the base of proportional and balanced development of people and nations.
