A crash course in changing the world.
Hi everyone, I just got back from the most amazing weekend ever. I was at the Freewheeling festival for the wh*** weekend in Stanford, it was incredible. At the camp there were many discusions about sustainability and green money. There was a talk called "WILLIS" which stands for " Wolrd I Love to Live in Someday". It was a fantatsic talk and we shared thoughts on what the world we wnated to live in was like. My perfect world, in a nutshel, was a world were there is love, peace and no crime, a wolrd were you can walk in the streets without fear of beeing shot or blow up. Most importantly, at Freewheeling, there was a youth segement, that I was invited to because I am a youth presenter on 50/50. With the youth, there was an intergrational chat between generations, which was a debate between the youth and the olders. The youth fist questioned the elders, and then the youth were questioned. After the debate, we learnt that the collabortaion between the youth and the elders is essential for the survival of the planet, the youth with their creativity and ambition, and the older genertations with their knowledge and wisdom. WORKING TOGETHER IS VITAL!!!!
After Freewheeling, I was rushed off to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town to presenter for 3 things at the F.L.O.W campaign launch. I presened for 50/50, for Eco-Buzz and for the F.L.O.W video. F.L.O.W stands for "for love of water". At the presentation we learnt alot about the importance of water, and that WATER IS LIFE! Without water there is nothing, our bodies are made up of 70% water and without it, we would die, and in the bigger picture the world is vastly made up of water, without it, all life would perish, the first wars for water have already started in Africa, this is serious, we need to protect and conserve our water (please read later blog on water conservation). We interviewed great South African musicians, such as Freashly Ground. This was a great weekend and I learnt so much.
I will post pictures soon from my Argus journey.
EARTH HOUR is just arounf the corner gus, 27th!!! Be ready, be involved.
