Inconvenient Youth

We had Andrea Reimer come to our school a few weeks back to present to us the presentation from an Inconveint Truth. It was a really intense presentation especially sine it had to do with Canada. She had specifically created it from the original so we could relate to it on a more local level. I had seen this presentation before in An Inconvenient Truth, and it still is really eye opening. Especially the pictures used. It really made my longing to inspire and educate others about the global need for a unity of environmental sustainability, strong. When Andrea Reimer spoke about how our very west coast would be underwater in a few years causing all the maps to be re-drawn. I felt like a part of me was dieing. I live for the ocean, I live for the scenic west coast, but to have it all gone, I could never imagine it. Knowing that my kids may never get to see Stanley Park or go do highropes in Nanaimo really scared me.
Some of us tech students went and talked with Andrea after, and she was so nice. She really made me feel like she knew what she was saying but she also knew that what I was saying just as important. I hope we get to work with her on some environmental projects.
Oh, and I also remember her from when I was younger at Lord Roberts. I think she was a trustee =P

M.A.M.A.'s

Sweet!
I'm with Mel, Alex and Aiko. The Kindergarten crew. We're really excited to finally get to work on a project together.
We were thinking of maybe doing a carbon footprint of our school and comparing it with that of a big school like Byng or kits. Once we have that taking the average of every student and then comparing it again.

I think its really important to know that kind of impact your school and you as a part of that community have. We all sort of felt there was a social aspect there that could really be important seeing as we're in high school.
But we're still figuring out if that would be possible.
