Sustainability Action Media (SAM) at Earth Day Conference 2012 sponsored by the Earth & Spirit Council.   Videotaped by Tom Hopkins of SAM and Barry Heidt of SAM. The panel discussion between elders and youth was around a central conference topic: "What gives us hope and heart to keep working on what is best for our Earth in the face of difficult changes?" The evening closed with song, drumming and celebration.

In this excerpt we cover part of the discussion around "hope" opening with Larry Merculieff followed by Barbara Ford and ending with Duane Elgin.
