*Short message for exchange with other group/project

Although I don't belong to any groups or projects, I'm looking forward to learning more about environmental issues upon being intrigued by what I saw at the Summit. If possible, I would like to get together with other Summit participants who have been working on environmental issues.

*Impression of Children's World Summit for the Environment 2005 Aichi

It was a really special experience for me. Environmental issues around the globe, which until then were only discussed on TV and in the newspaper, were presented vividly to me making me think anew about them. I also made numerous respectable friends of various nationalities and age. I will never forget my experience at the Summit and would like to keep in touch with the new friends I met there. Since the Summit was so exciting and fruitful, the several weeks after it felt really boring. I would love to take part in it again!

*Others

After the Summit, I have been trying to cut down on water and electricity waste. There aren't many people around me who are thinking about environmental issues like the participants at the Summit. It was really encouraging to meet people at the Summit who are seriously working towards the environment.

The Summit was fantastic and changed my values and ways of thinking in life. It was also great to be able to make friends from all over the world. Until now, I correspond with people I got to know in the Summit through e-mail, and have met with about ten of them, but to tell the truth, there are many participants with whom it is difficult to keep in touch with. It may be a difficult request, but I would really appreciate it if all the summit participants could gather again. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity!
