The postcard is still with me from that night 2009. It reminds me that we can do something for environment, how crazy it seems. Hope is a necenssity for future. This is also a good example of what expectations does to us. Was your thought that you wanted to go to the meeting but it was to far away in time (1 and ½ year ago)? Not in you neigborhood? What happened to the interest to see the film? These questions, we should think of dealing with environmental communication..

It is the people who must save the environment, it is the people who make the leaders to change. So we must stand up for what we beleive in.-Wangari Maathai
