Global Climate Change
The movie that's documenting Al Gore's campaign for more awareness around global climate change has been made into a documentary: "An Inconvenient Truth". It will even be showed at the Open Air Cinema in Geneva this summer, but I don't know yet if I'll be able to make it there. Scientist who've seen the movie say that the facts that are stated in it are correct:
Gore conveyed the science correctly; the world is getting hotter and it is a manmade catastrophe-in-the-making caused by the burning of fossil fuels. (Source)
I'm getting curious on how environmental awareness is conveyed concretely, on a day-to-day and one-to-one basis, and how a small organisation in a developed country is doing "education for sustainable development", tomorrow is my first day!

Hey Sarah,
As a new blogger I have to catch up on many things... how do you post videos on your blog? I tried to post one in mine but it did not work :'(
I'm sure this is a great movie...hope it will raise more than just a few eyebrows. Saw the trailer a while back. Hope I can go and watch it for you if you can't....have a great first day tomorrow! Update us :) Everybody has such cool traineeships and plans this Summer :-) Except for me, sigh. Mémoire here I come.
Don't worry, Carissa, I will also study...
No traineeship or any other cool things, just me, my German classes and my thesis
well, and some WENA stuff & IC as well, but that's a standard ;)
big hug from another student
Haha, Zuzka, now we're even communicating on other people's blogs...back to student life, huh? German classes, really? Wow! :-) And yeah, I'll contact you sometime next week to set a date for a chat somewhere :-) Maybe you and I should also change our blog titles for Summer to "me and my thesis", i.e. kind of follow Suzan's example LOL And yeah, the standard @-work ...am sure you'll do a great job :)
Big hug back from a hopefully soon no-more student
hey girls,
don't worry, I don't mind other people having conversations on my blog ;-)
we definitely need to have some standard-summer-moments with trips and events etc. to distract us from stupid little things like a mémoire or an internship, hahaha
I'm becoming an expert on sustainable development, yay! more updates to come soon...
Haha, thx Sarita ;-) Yay, wanna hear some news from you then on sustainable development !!! :-D As you're our expert now ;-)
Oohhh, I already have some ideas for standard-summer-moments/getways ! We need to stay sane, right? :-)
Sane in our everyday life, but i guess that the limits of for the Summer Events are somewhere else...
Nadja already has a suggestion for her birthday...
Speaking of sustainability: es chunt no en andere neue Film wo dich viellicht interessiere chönt:
Trailer Who killed the electric car?
