What stays?

After removing the last tracks of the Earth Charter+10 Conference on the CEE Campus in Ahmedabad, everything became quiet again. The number of people reduced tragically but luckily the number of animals increased again. Monkeys and peacocks enjoy the calm atmosphere.
Nothing reminds to the over 500 people hanging around on the campus to decide and discuss how to make the world a better place for our children and children-children.
Is this all forgotten now? What stays?
There stay many things. Some of them we forget someday.
But there’s at least one thing we still have in mind which we won’t forget:
We can act. And we have to act.
Youth- we are the leaders of tomorrow, the world will be in our hands and we have to make sure that everybody get the healthy and good environment they deserve.
This conference is the beginning of our action. In some cases only a continuation. Take it as an inspiration. But take it as a something.
We will start now- enough talking, acting is necessary. And we all know this. So let’s take the wise words of all the speakers to create awareness, to fight, to spread, that we get what we want!
Let’s stand together and due to Mahatma Gandhiji’s word: “Be the change you want to see in the world!”
Get up stand up: Stand up for your rights! (Bob Marley)
