Going to the United Nations climate meeting...in Poland

...it's official. I have purchased my plane tickets. I will be coming home for the winter holidays, but I'm off to a conference first before coming home to Canada.

Some of you may remember that I was at the United Nations meeting last year in Bali, Indonesia? Well I'm off again this year with the Canadian Youth Delegation (http://www.cydpoznan.org/) to the 2008 UN climate change conference in Poznan, Poland from Dec. 5 - 15. I'm really excited about it (but not overly hopeful about the outcome), after a full semester of environmental education I feel much more prepared for the climate circus (over 10,000 people are likely to attend the meeting). After a bit of negotiations bedlam I should be getting into Toronto sometime on the 16th.

Here is an article recently posted on the U of Guelph website about some recent graduates (myself included) attending the UN conference:
