Excerpts;
“The month of June is upon us and as Rio+20, the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, draws nearer, I find myself reflecting on the many great changes the past 20 years have brought, since that first Earth Summit, also in Rio, when the world met to announce a vision for its collective future.

For the sake of our planet, a conversation that needs to be heard is the one between generations, between elders and young people around the world, and those who are in between…” —Desmond Tutu.
