The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice.- Mahatma Gandhi |

Vivian along with hundreds of volunteers from across the country flocked to Nashville January 4-6, 2007 as part of a grass-roots training effort to spread the word on global warming. Vivian took part in Al Gore's The Climate Project, which mushroomed from his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
Paul Beaudette, Director NWF Board, Honorable Al Gore and Vivian Fulk of Medley Meadows
The goal of the training was to train 1,000 climate project presenters to show slides of melting glaciers and charts of climbing temperatures to raise awareness of the issue of global warming and to tell everyone that it's not too late to do something about it! But we must ALL get involved!
During the 7 hour training session, Al Gore was very generous with his time. He is a true orator. He made this fiery quote to inspire us which it succeeded in spades!
"The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall our selves, and then we shall save our country. Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation."
