"Hello and welcome aboard the SolOceans One-design. I sail on the ocean all year long and sometimes see things horrible floating in the water. It’s not very nice. You are all reunited today at Copenhagen and I hope that you’ll take good decisions now in order to change everybody’s behaviour regarding the environment: the people, companies and governments. We are all counting on you. We need to react now. We the sailors, we all wish good luck and we trust in you. Good luck Copenhagen."

Like many sailors, Liz Wardley ifeels very concerned about the environment and Climate Change problems. Off the African Coast, she sent a message of encouragement to the Head of States runited at Copenhaguen for the Climate Council.
