Okay, so I’m a high school student in my final year (woohoo) and I’m a member of a club dedicated to promoting the idea of sustainable living and raising awareness about energy conservation. We do a lot of awesome stuff, like anti-idling campaigns, cell-phone recycling campaigns, and we even have our own commercial. One thing we’re trying to do right now, is find a guest speaker who can reach out to an audience comprised mostly of apathetic teenagers, who let’s face it, usually don’t pay attention to anything important anyone has to say 99% of the time. It’s important that we start raising awareness at a small scale NOW, because what we decide to do and NOT do will ultimately affect all our futures. We need to raise awareness about the significance of energy conservation and our need to redefine our lifestyles in terms of sustainable standards, and one of the best ways to do that is to involve a guest speaker, who is able to spark the interest of people MY age, who mostly care about clothes, music and cars anyhow. We’ve had guest speakers before, but they’re usually really dull and extreeeeeeemely political, so the majority of us resent ever showing up to hear them drag on and on, and don’t even bother to hear what they’re saying, because, let’s face it, they don’t phrase it in a way that involves US, and they usually lean on the political side of things, which has barely anything to do with the matter.
So I need help!!! I have to find a guest speaker who is passionate about issues concerning energy conservation and the environment, and who at the same time can peak the interest of the students in a way which would make those who could care less become more involved in participating in our movement to change the way we live now.
It would be awesome if some of you could tell me who I might be able to contact.
It would also be awesome if Jack Johnson could make it, but I know he probably can’t, what with touring and all.
So I want you’re advice.
Pleaaaaaaaase and Thank you :)
