Ecological footprint

It is 7a.m. and I am here outside the just outside the main hall to reach the wiffi signal emanating from the "international hut" a hundre meters away. It is still raining, like how it did the whole day yesterday. The weather should be weather today as what, Barbara Kus, one of the organizers, told us yesterday.

We finished doing our "flying footprint," and learned that the USA and Germany has one of the highest ecological footprints. Among the participants in the youth summit, Benin and Namibia have one of the lowest. To cap off the long day, we danced our worries away to the tune of music from Latin America, Africa and Asia. Benin and Namibia participants, respectively, left us their cultural footprint as they taught us some of their traditional dance steps!

This afternoon, we are scheduled to visit a glass factory, which is one of the local industries here in Bavaria.
