“Notre maison brûle et nous regardons ailleurs” : “Our house is burning and we are looking at somewhere else” was said by #jacqueschirac at the 4th #earthsummit in 2002 in #johannesburg #southafrica - even if we cannot qualify Jacques Chirac as being a pure #ecologist , he was however already aware of the problem 17 years ago. He was a great man able to look at the things how they were and as unpleasant they could be #savetheplanet #climatechange #savetheearth https://www.instagram.com/p/B24swsmB5ws/?igshid=lj0nvck9msgb

Our #Recyclopedia team won the #EarthSummit #TechStars #hackthon ! I’m so proud to have been on a team with such passionate, welcoming, and intelligent people. We developed an app that scans images and tells you the material and whether or not it’s recyclable. Alexander Binaei and Nic Jedema handled the awe-inspiring machine learning and created their own API. Kevin Cuison and Michael Siller handled the front-end app styling and layout. I handled the app’s backend and authentication. Teniope Adewumi-Gunn & Colton Orr handled the research, business model, and presentation. Thank you Colton Orr Teniope Adewumi-Gunn Alexander Binaei Nic Jedema Michael Siller Kevin Cuison for an amazing experience! #AIForSustainability #TechStarsStartUpWeekend #TechStarsStartUpWeekend2019 #coder #softwareengineer #machinelearning @ai.la.media @techstars @startupweekend (at Soylent Innovation Lab) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwkjoVwh_Ix/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1exzhh549h6hj

Victoria, BC Youth Outline the Future They Want

21 June 2012, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The theme of Rio+20 is The Future We Want. In the lead up to the conference organizers have been asking people around the world to contribute to the conversation on this website.

Youth have been making most of the dramatic noise at this conference, and given the weakened agreement that seems destined to be Rio+20's legacy, their participation and calls for leadership have been a welcome breath of fresh air.

The same can be said for the youth of Victoria, BC.

As I was on the road headed to Rio, the second annual Youth Climate Action Summit took place at the Off the Grid Festival in Victoria, BC.

I had the pleasure to speak at the inaugural conference the year before and this year had the opportunity to ask youth (via video) for their statements of the future they want.

Without further ado, I present to you the future that our children desire. It's damn better than what world leaders have agreed to.
