Swiss School

THIS VIDEO taught me all about SUMAS
The Sustainability and Management School in Switzerland is the first of its kind in Europe
It is located in Gland, between Geneva and bla.
The students are happy about Switzerland's location in the middle of Europe, and Switzerland's beauty.
It is the only school that handles a masters in Buisness Administration with Sustainability.
Sustainability is the future.

This vid is about consumption and Global Warming
The key player in global warming is industry.
There is a webpage that calculates how big your ecological footprint is.
If we continue on this rate, by 2050 we will need twice the world's surface to satisfy our waste and needs.
Now a days there are many ecological solutions but people just dont use them because theyre expensive.
In Europe there are logos that tell the consumer exactly what theyre buying.

This link was about Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
The hottest ten years recorded were in the last 14 years. The hottest was 2005
If we continue, Shanghai, Florida, Calcutta and New York will be 20ft underwater. \
Glaciers and Snow Peaked Mountains are melting everywhere. Soon, Mt Kilimanjaro wont have snow.
Al Gore was going to be the next president of the United Nations.

This video shows a speech made by the solar impulse pilots.
They say that you need innovation and creativity to stand out in life
We are in the best moment in human kind because we are capable of designing something that can save mankind.
The meeting was held in a basketball stadium.
I know Ms Shawn won't read this, however, I am still doing it.
The graduating class was of Arizona State University.
We need to be pioneers and explorers.

There was a creation of a solar plane that is extremely slow but requires no fuel at all. It can practically fly on forever, however, the pilots get extremely tired and they require sleep and to stretch their legs. That is why I would be willing to take a PS3 with me on the trip, to be able to play FIFA whenever I want.

LETTER TO SUMAS

Dear Ms. Cadenas,
In Bogota, there are many environmental problems that need to be solved. For example, the sewage system isn't the best, not every place has recycling bins and there is no strict law against littering like there is in Southeast Asia. However, the most horrifying thing about Bogota's sustainability is the fact that we have an atrocious Garbage Disposal System. 
The thing is, Ms. Cadenas, that we don't have a very good mayor. Of course it is not entirely his fault, but he still could do a lot more to solve Bogota's crisis. It is practically impossible to walk in and Bogota street and not find a piece of litter around. That is why changing the current Garbage Disposal System in Bogota would be my top priority in the city's current state.
Sincerely,
Alejandro Samper
