Do you know that it's International Youth Day today?
This morning I attended a symposium with the theme: Climate Change. The speaker discussed to the young audience about Global Warming, it's causes and effects. To all the youth out there, how can you help in preventing the greenhouse effect?

I didn't know that it was International Youth Day. But I think that it is a wonderful thing to commemorate. After all our youth of today is the future for us here in earth. I am forty years old myself. I don't know if you would want to lump me in with the youth, however I do feel that the planet needs to be preserved better than it is.
After the older generations passes away, it will leave the youth to pick up from there and try to keep the atmosphere as clean as it can. Maybe taking care of our forests could also help.
