The National Green Schools Conference in Denver just concluded yesterday.
We attended a fresh and dynamic presentation by Alec Loorz, founder of Kids
vs Global Warming. Alec was the youngest youth trained under Vice
President Al Gore.
We had a movie screening entitled Carbon Nation
Carbon Nation is a film about sustainable
solutions to our global problems. An optimistic view showcasing the amazing
work of people from all walks of life. The element that connects them all is a
passion for protecting our world for future generations. We met Peter Byck,
Director and Producer of the film.
Another event we participated in was a solutions summit about effective
recycling programs for schools. We explored models of excellence for schools to
follow.
We had a zoo visit in Denver
While not all the events were youth-oriented, our
youth mentors were privileged to discover that there are amazing solutions to
solving many of our environmental challenges. The last event we took part in
was a media relations presentation by Sylvia Ewing, an Illinois reporter. This
will be a trip that we will remember for a long time. Mike Leveille
