3. Marty Essen is currently traveling the United States with Around
the World in 90 Minutes, the multimedia version of Cool Creatures, Hot
Planet. Now in his second year of performing at colleges, museums, and
nature centers. "People from coast-to-coast have been incredibly
receptive to my conservation message. Young people, especially, are
realizing that we need to do more to protect endangered species and
fight global warming. After all, they are the ones who will inherit
the world from previous generations. Looking the other way while
others plunder our planet's natural resources for profit is no longer
an option!"
