The 100th Monkey
Watch the 100th Monkey on GlobalTV
The story behind the "100th Monkey" comes from Lyall Watson's book Lifetime. The book describes scientists studying macaque monkeys on the Japanese island of Koshima. Every day, scientists delivered sweet potatoes to the sandy shores to feed the monkeys.
The monkeys ate these sandy potatoes for weeks, until one day, the scientists observed one of them wash off the dirt. Days later, the young monkey had taught its monther to do the same, and the phenomenon spread: soon a group of 100 monkeys joined in. After this "tipping point", the whole colony was regularly washing their sandy potatoes.
Take this story to heart, and think about climate change. At what point will there be enough people aware and concerned about our planet that a tipping point of our own will be reached?
Are you eating sandy potatoes?
