BACKGROUND:
In 2008 Millennium Kids interviewed hundreds of young people about what they liked and what the did not like about their community – Climate Change was a major concern in every community we worked in. So in 2009 hundreds of young people have come together to create THE BIG SWITCH EXPERIMENT – a research and action program run by young people.

The third day of the Conference in Denmark

Monday 10th August 2009

Hi guys,

Welcome back to the fourth blog post from the Bright Green Youth conference in Denmark.

“Cultural ideas”

With roughly 300 people from around 41 different countries the views that were presented in our discussions were amazing. The different values that were shared by different cultures made it a truly fantastic experience and it is so much fun to take part in.

Some examples of this include:

The African representatives are very focussed on clean water.

The Russian representatives are focused on alternative energy sources.

The Indian representatives are focused on alternative transportation.

There are just so many views on climate change and what you put them all together the ideas that come out are simply amazing. We are having the judging of the ideas tomorrow but some of the ideas that we have seen so far include-

Rain energy

Renewable electric cars

Energy from toilet flushing

Clean water by using a complex system of reeds and microorganisms

And many more!!
