During my stay, I met people from all around the world, and we shared our experience regarding our environmental projects. I benefited a lot from meeting new people, attending the sessions, and listening to the interesting lectures. I learned much and taught much to other children in the conference. I learned how I can have a sustainable lifestyle. For example, I learned that in order to consume energy, I can use the stairs instead of the elevator and I can play board games or card games instead of using electronical games in a way that I can not only save energy but also entertain myself. In one of the sessions I learned that water on earth is decreasing and that water is as precious as gold. I believe that water is of great value and a lot should be done to preserve it. On the other hand, my friends and I taught other children about the project we worked on last year on recycling batteries. Many people visited our stand, where they tasted Lebanese treats, played environmental games, won prizes and took photos with us wearing our national costumes. The most impressive work shop or meeting was the Global Town Hall meeting which brought together 1000 children and youth as well as participants from 20 cities around the world connected via web casting. This meeting was very organized and extremely impressive. I communicated and discussed various environmental issues with multinational children and youth.My trip to Korea and my participation in the conference were once in a life time experience. It affected me in many positive ways that will lead me to work harder in the environmental club in order to make a difference and try to save our precious environment. I would like to thank my school and especially my teacher for choosing me to attend this conference and I promise them to continue working in the environmental pioneers group.
