louisiana disappearing so fast. it's also been a long time home to members of two tribes. they have watched their five mile wide island shrink to just half square mile. it has happened rapidly. sea level rise and climate change are amplifying the many problems they have faced for years here. we're going to get into why that happened. this is why the united states deems this the first community to be displaced by climate change, and why it won't be the last. the mighty mississippi river, running through ten states, terminating in the mississippi delta, and thousands of wetland islands along the gulf coast. today some of those islands are being swallowed up. >> i didn't think it was gonna happen in my life time. >> reporter: chris' home town on isle de jean charles cut off by storms, mangled by hurricane ida, exacerbating the problems
8:32 am
that have been threatening them for decades. once a thriving town of 400 people, they used to have 22,000 acres of land. now only 320. they've lost 98% of the land here. look at the satellite images from 1963, then fast forward to 2016. the island is shrinking due to a few things. number one, sea level rise. also humans constructed levies up stream that prevented natural sediment to replenish the island. then the natural thinking of coastal wetlands. >> when you take all those things together, you're looking at high rates of sea rise relative to the land. this is only the beginning. we're going to see many more communities that are going to disappear. >> the environment was being challenged, so as a gradual process, more land was being eroded by the gulf of mexico. that's what brung me to make a decision i never wanted to make.
8:33 am
>> reporter: with a $48.3 million federal grant, louisiana built a new town just 40 miles north. but 12 feet higher above sea level. the land and homes free to all recent r isle de jean charles. >> it's beautiful. this is the most luxurious house i ever lived in. more protection here than of the island. >> reporter: folks named the new town new isle. 100 families will call it home by the end of this year. >> i use the word displaced because that's what i feel i am. but also at the same time this is like a new journey. >> reporter: back on isle de jean charles we meet edison and elizabeth. they have no plans to leave. >> i got my home here. i was raised here so i'm gonna stay here. >> i got a letter asking if i wanted to stay. we fight for our country and we can fight for our land. >> reporter: each morning edison
8:34 am
wakes up, opens the door and holers. >> whoo! i feel good and i'm free. >> reporter: chantel comardelle is on the count council. >> learning a new life and new experience is difficult. i expect them for their decision to not leave. i think they have to make that choice for themselves. >> reporter: losing these islands is not just impacting the people of isle de jean charles. >> our coastal wetlands are the most valuable ecosystems we have in the united states. they provide protection from storms. they absorb a lot of pollution coming from the interland through the mississippi river. things like fertilizers. without coastal wetlands, we are gonna lose all our fisheries in this region. >> reporter: a complex issue and a resilient community adapting to an ever changing plan. >> i just pray and think about
8:35 am
the possibility of just going from house to house just visit everybody and chat with them and build this community. >> reporter: now here's what's even more wild. navigation charts like the one on the boat need updating. it shows we are on yellow, which is representing land. we are clearly not. we are on about 3 1/2 feet of water. i know that because our captain has been helping us.isdnd worke waters forever. tell us how the landscape has changed in your life time? >> significant amount of land loss. we constantly have to relearn the waters every year, every time we come out, every season, there's drastic changes. all of our land marks are disappearing. >> reporter: you showed us on the map there's also unnatural straight lines. anywhere you see that, that's where oil and gas made canals.
8:36 am
we are seeing guys deleting island names, erasing streams off the map as this happens. >> ginger, we're just taking that drone shot and seeing it again and again. thank you for bringing that to us. tomorrow you're going to be bringing us the latest on the struggling colorado river. coming up, revisiting the man we bet in the best seller "tuesdays with morrie."
8:37 am
8:38 am
8:39 am
>> almost 30 years ago nightline producer saw an article about morrie schwartz. he was dying of als. ted koppel interviewed him, led to the book "tuesdays with morrie." now he is back in print. he found a manuscript put away in a drawer. i spoke to rob last week. >> tonight conversations with morrie, lessons on living. just who is morrie schwartz? >> we first came to know morrie schwartz nearly 30 years ago. >> so many of you are going to care about him. >> because i think i have something to offer the world. >> he introduced your dad to the world by asking who is morrie schwartz. let me ask you that question.
8:40 am
who was morrie schwartz? >> wow. he was a very loving and thoughtful man who had a lot of ideas about how to improve people's lives and what blocks them from being happy. >> it was march 17, 1995 when abc's nightline aired the first of three conversations between ted koppel and retired sociology professor in massachusetts who was dying of als, also known as lou gehrig's disease. >> some mornings i'm angry and bitter. but it doesn't last too long. then i get up and say, i want to live. so i have i have t to mourn. i also have to enjoy the life that i have left. >> reporter: over several months we watched and listened as a man nearing the end of his life taught us how to live. >> this culture is so stuck on death in terms of its fear,
8:41 am
hiding it, not knowing what to do with it that what i'm saying is look at it. >> reporter: one of those a former student began visiting his old professor every tuesday until morrie died. >> if you were to synthesize morrie's message in a line or two, it would be what? >> death ends a life but not a relationship. >> never, ever, don't let go too soon but don't hang on too long. find the balance. >> reporter: published in 1997, morrie schwartz didn't live to see the worldwide success of the best selling memoir that bore his name "tuesdays with morrie." it sold over 18 million copies and counting. he had already given the world so much "tuesdays with morrie." this was actually a book that he wrote before any of that came out. >> that's right. this book was written, he started in 1998 and finished in
8:42 am
1992. it was his thoughts about life and really in depth dive into how he wanted to approach aging. he thought it could be helpful for other people to approach aging. just in general living creatively, vibrantly and joyously. >> reporter: now the man whose voice continues to inspire so many is back in a new book "the wisdom of morrie." it's an original manuscript written by morrie before he became ill. >> it was sitting in a drawer in my father's study. my mother kept the house after my father passed away. i pulled over the drawer and found the manuscript. i had talked to him a lot about this book while he was working on it. it was stunning to me to find this manuscript and realize that it had never been published. now we might have an opportunity to get that done. >> reporter: as you first went through it, what went through your mind? >> i just hear my father's voice. talk about it. open it up. >> so filled with his love of
8:43 am
life and his love of people and his connection to humanity. when a person is dying, let them die. i don't always have to be taking. i can also be giving. >> how do you edit your father? >> that's a great question. there was a lot of repetition. he wrote it over a long period of time. there was some things i had to cut out. i can't guarantee that everything that i did he would give the thumbs up to. i would hope so. >> you describe it as a book end "tuesdays with morrie." what does that mean? >> "tuesdays with morrie" is a beautiful book. it is a slim volume. it's like an introduction to my father's thoughts. this is a real deep dive into his thoughts. he was a professor of sociology and social psychology so he has a lot to say on what it means to be human an how we can improve our lives. this is a deep dive into it, compared to "tuesdays with morrie." >> it is a deep dive but does it
8:44 am
summarize his philosophy in two words? >> i think it is. you have to explain to people what that means. >> what does it mean? >> it means to keep your connection with humanity, and that fundamentally means keep your connections with other people, whether your friend, family or people you don't even know. the problem with this world is we objectify other people. that person doesn't like me, they don't believe what i believe. that's not the way to go about it. we all have a shared humanity. that is the crucial thing that you need to connect with. >> be compassionate. to yourself and to each other. be loving with yourself, towards yourself, with others. >> these teachings have already influenced so many people around the world. what's the new audience you're hoping to reach? >> my father wrote this book aimed at aging people because he felt that our society was so ageous and that people had
8:45 am
internalized these negative emotions about aging. and then he outlines ways in which, real practical day to day things which people can do to improve their lives. >> give one. >> well, he says laughter, for example. laughter's incredibly important. you need to have laughter in your life. find what makes you laugh and indulge in that. >> what would the human morrie think of all the attention? >> i get that question a lot. the unexpected answer is he would love it. he would adore it. he was a ham. he loved the spotlight. he would be so happy that not only his ideas are getting some attention, but that people think it's worth while to pay attention to him. >> take responsibility for yourself and for others. if we learn that lesson, this world would be so much better place and we would be so much
8:46 am
better. >> your father once told an interview that he wanted his obituary to remember him as a great teacher. he succeeded, didn't he? >> i think so. i hope this book continues that teaching. that's one of the exact reasons that we put it out. >> my do i get to be one of the angels? >> it would be cute with a pair of wings. >> almost impossible to count the number of lives he has touched. >> i love what he says about compassion and responsibility, starting with yourself. >> great advice. >> morrie living and aging creatively is on sale. >> the same cold front that's making me layered up in the bayou kicked off some severe

maya seller is here to tell us how it works. we are going to start by saying this is not a quick fix. >> this is not a quick fix. eating a carrot will not reduce stress. that would be so nice, right? you can incorporate these into your eating over time as a support. it's about re-establishing routines that work for you. one that makes place for intentional nourishment. >> i love it. let's talk about blood pressure. that is something that, by reducing, you will feel better and it will help your health. >> one of the things i always say. look for foods rich in antioxidants. these berries, grapes and blue berries, great source of polyphenols. also we want to see omega 3 fatty acids. >> i'm not a sardine fan. any other suggestions? >> absolutely. you can go for any fatty fish.

also avacados. great source of potassium as well as magnesium. >> i'm hearing those two words over and over again, magnesium, potassium. >> 100%. >> think about that, everybody. blood sugar. also really important to keep in mind. >> that's right. what we want to do is reduce those highs and lows. when you include fiber as well as protein in your pattern of eating, that helps slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. that's really about the balance thinking about blood sugars. here i have got a gorgeous array of these fiber rich foods. you've got the nuts and the seeds, chia, flax, sunflower seeds, cashews. really any nut or seed a person wants to eat. that will help your blood sugar. then i have got chicken here. if you're plant based you can lean into something like tofu.
8:52 am
it's really about finding that combination to slow down how that sugar is going into your bloodstream. >> we have a meal that you say is a great example, a mood alterer in a good way. >> a very good way. food is really information for our bodies. when we are well nourished then we are able to function better. you want to find a consistent pattern of eating that's relevant and affordable. the other thing when we are thinking about blood pressure and blood sugar balance is not to skip meals. you want to make sure lots of plants are showing up on your plate. if you're a vegetarian, swap this chicken out for tofu or something else. we're really talking about fiber, protein and tons of vegetables. >> love this. not a quick fix but great information, especially on a monday to start the week. maya, so good t
