Dinner with Tzeporah Berman

I have met a few notable people since I've been here in Copenhagen. We have met with Naomi Klein, Elizabeth May, Sheila Watt-Cloutier, Jean Charest, David Miller, and I even saw Sarah Harmer perform last night at a reception. However, I met Tzeporah Berman last night, and had dinner with her and other members of the Canadian Youth Delegation tonight. Tzeporah Berman founded Power Up last year, and has focused on mobilizing Canadians beyond changing their lightbulbs and lifestyles, convincing them to demand leadership and change from their leaders.
Tzeporah is writing a video blog during the negotiations. Check it out here: http://www.zerocarboncanada.ca/
