I would like to thank Bob Austman, the Education Coordinator for Manitoba Model Forest, for sharing so much information with us throughout the morning. Bob's presentation really helped us to understand how important it is to work together to protect our forests.
Bob's presentation got me thinking about Severn Suzuki's 1992 presentation to the United Nations when she was only twelve years old, urging everyone to consider the impact we're having on the environment. You can watch Severn Suzuki's presentation here:
Over lunch, we checked out the GE SmartGrid augmented reality and we also watched a few short presentations from TED Talks that demonstrated the negative impact we're having on the environment. Here is one of the videos that we watched, featuring Charles Moore, who showcased the 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch':
Throughout the afternoon, Ria (from Oak Hammock Marsh) shared some information with us about some of the many conservation efforts that are being initiated by Ducks Unlimited.
