Hi Guys,
Welcome back to the second blog post from the Bright Green Youth Conference in Denmark.
Today we went to the first day of the ‘Bright Green Youth’ conference and we were really excited about the prospects on what we were going to achieve.
We had breakfast with our host families and then were driven to ‘ALSION’ – the site of the conference.
All the delegates and chaperons meet in the giant auditorium and were introduced to what we will be doing on the next four days.
We then split into our home groups and we went a room to meet each other.
We were introduced to the process of what we were striving to achieve.
We discussed all the energy problems and environmental problems in the world. In Denmark 50% of the energy recourses is created by wind turbines placed all over Denmark. Unfortunately the other half of the energy is created by coal powered generators. But because of half their demanded energy is wind generated they have significantly reduced their carbon footprint.
After discussing the energy problems and environmental problems of the world, we had lunch. After lunch and we discussed the solutions to the problems and visions to the problems. That took us the end of day.
We were then collected up by our host families and went back to where we were staying for dinner.
After dinner we then went back for the official opening of the conference. The Crown Prince of Denmark - Prince Frederick was there! Sam and Alexander were less the half a meter away from the Prince when he walked on stage!! That was awesome!
