Apart from sharing how the book came about, the door prizes, count the jelly bean competition, and the amazing array of vegan food, the highlight of the night was Skyping with Avalon Theisen from Conserve It Forward, and Carter & Olivia Ries from One More Generation.
The audience had the opportunity to personally ask the kids questions about their projects, while the kids shared why they believe we need to make change now if we want to take care of the planet.
Sadly we learned that due to poaching, a rhino is killed every 8 hours and 100,000 elephants have experienced the same fate in the past 3 years. Further to that we learned that based on current practices, the ocean will be dead by 2048. These facts are devastating! It is critical we act now to bring about positive change.
'Magnificent Kids!' showcases Avalon and Carter & Olivia, along with 20 other amazing young people who really are changing the world. We were reminded at the launch that if we don't support the next generation to make thoughtful choices, we may not even have a planet left to save - and we all know there is no Planet B!
Here are a couple of pics from the launch, but you can see the entire album here.
