Tread Lightly! Youth, educators, and environmentalists gathered in London, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam and Oslo

In October 2011, youth, educators, and environmentalists gathered in London, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam and Oslo in a series of environmental forums organized by Tread Lightly. The purpose of these forums was to formulate recommendations for the Rio+20 Earth Summit agenda. The outcomes of each forum gave us an idea of the principal environmental concerns that youth in these particular cities have and where would they like to see more work done.

Participants formulated recommendations related to the following issues: environmental education; waste; food; water; energy; and transportation management.
