After seeing the electric bike at the Roots and Shoots expo in Renaissance College, Jonathon Hamilton at Canadian International School (CDNIS) invited us to come along to their CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) fair on 17th September.

The Jane Goodall Institute in Hong Kong kicked the school year off with a bang with a Roots & Shoots Asia Pacific Youth Summit on 30th August 2010 at Renaissance College.  To help connect students with Hong Kong NGOs there was an Eco Expo during the lunch break.

After an invitation from Oxford Study Courses (www.osc-ib.com), we played the Carbon Trading Game for a group of pre-IB students on a lovely summer day in Somerville College, Oxford, UK.  The tranquil setting was juxtaposed with the near-carnage that unfolded as the game started.  We got the impression that the students took the competition really seriously and were not taking prisoners.

With a little help from Jeany Wu and Xavier Keung, students at Li Po Chun United world College of Hong Kong, we ran a Carbon Trading Game in Cantonese for a group of 10-11 year old students at Sai Kung Central Lee Siu Yam Memorial School (LSY).  The game was characterized by a real spirit of cooperation between the countries, so that much-needed resources were relatively freely shared.  (If only the world operated in such a generous-spirited manner!)
