Togheter we can make a change!

At the moment people are throwing out really long rolls of paper, the idéa is that everyone here will write feedback, a positiv suggestion that aplies to everyone in here and one example of something possitiv for the enviroment, which you are allready doing on the same piece of paper as everyone else!

And a few moments ago we had a speaker named Sven Heijbel talking to us about enviromental involvement.
He started of by asking if anyone engaged in themself, and well.. everyone did, then he asked if also engaged in our family and friends, and yes, most people did that aswell. After that he asked if we also had the energy and will to engage in our own reality, things happening in the enviroment around us. and well, since this is a climate gathering most people raised their hands. Im sorry to say that it's not usually like that, Sven told us that he usually have about 5% raising their hand when he asks.
Then he told us a really inspiering story about 5 youngsters from USA, the had an idé, they spent three months talking to companies all over USA, asking them to make some kind of event on the 14th of April 2007 the event was called "step it up 2007!, 1400 events where held, in all 50 states! The message to the American congress was to reduse the bad emissions with 80% untill year 2050, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama changed their election campaigns after this.
If five people kan do that, then imagine what we all, everyone can do togheter!
