Clara, Rachel & Janneke

Hello my name is Janne. I’m 16 years old and I come from Kiel which is in Germany. And I would like to tell you something about our day. Today we did free diving. I like it because when you are in the water and everything is quiet it is a moment where you can forget about everything else. But I think it is also a little bit frightening because you know that you are only a little piece in a very huge ocean. As a result I think that this was a very good experience for everybody who did it. In the afternoon we went to Elba Island. There we swam and we were on the beach. And with an ice cream or a drink in the hand we moved into the shadow. There we continued our discussion from last evening about the environment. But today we represented our own opinion and not the opinion of the BRIC, USA, EU, AOSIS, NGO’s, Business Alliance or the G77. It was a very fascinating and interesting discussion. And there were a lot of new aspects to talk about. One of them was that we thought about the population of the world and that the population is growing very, very fast. And when the population grows more and more energy will be needed. We talk about this and many other things which are important for the future of the world and for the future of our climate and environment. At the end we composed a few more paragraphs for our resolution. After another swim we returned to the ship. In my opinion it was a very great day because we combined a lot of fun and also interesting work. I hope I will have a lot of more beautiful days here on board of the ship.
