"Today's Challenges for Tomorrow's Leaders"An international conference on environmental signifies a lot: one, the world is getting increasingly concerned about the environment; two, it brings together what other countries are doing and how we can take the best from each country and emulate it in our own country; and three, this is a problem that cannot be resolved in the present generation, perhaps not even our generation.
5 keynote addresses. 4 plenary sessions. 2 activity visits. All designed to heighten the awareness of individuals, to show the limits (or rather the lack thereof) to which how much we can do to save the environment.
Speakers from huge companies, government, Outward Bound all came to share what they have done for the environment. It is a conference to change our perspectives, to change how we live our daily lives.
"We did not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrowed it from our children."
I guess this quote said it all. It is our personal responsibility to save the Earth, but like any other thing in our lives, the decision still lies within us. Whether or not our generation will face the set of problems we are facing now, it all depends on us.
