I was impressed, after talking to people, by the large amount of knowledge that was acuired during the week. These lucky students seem to now be fully equiped to handle the adverse problems that the past generation has created. The Key note speaker spoke on "Capturing CO2 Emmisions." He highlighted some technology and ideas that I was not even aware of. This seems like an awsome opportunity and I am sorry that I missed out on it.

Unfortunately my brilliant plan of sleeping all the way to Estevan, the Energy City did not come to fruition, due to the bus being rather tiny, relative to my legs. So I got to sit and watch the diverse landscape of rural Saskatchewan. The tours were pretty sweet. Ethanol plant was pretty interesting. A lot of people complained about the smell, but it just made me hungry, not that it takes much to make me hungry. It was also pretty cool to go down into a mine. Really interesting. Did you know that there are indivdual machines working at the Estevan mine that take more energy per second then the city of Estevan? So that was my conference day. Then me and my hombre Nick Baller went and played some hardcore dodgeball in some league and went undefeated. We also went bowling which I won, and watched some intense soccer. Overall a pretty awesome day. Tanner Brine Yesterday I woke up at 5 o’clock so I could get onto a bus and go back to sleep.

This has been, and no doubt will continue to be, an excellent time. I have learned so much already and I can't wait to share what I have learned in my community. This is something that every young person should go to, I promise it will be the experience of a lifetime. What a wonderful experience!

He talked to us about his Factor 9 house. It was really interesting and easy to understand. Mr. Holzkaemper was an excellent speaker. For me (nicole) the most interesting aspect of his home was his system for retaining rain water to use for flushing toilets and heating. :-). We're having lots of fun. My first workshop was with Keith Hutchece who talked about the advantages of ethanol. It was quite interesting and gave me a new perspective on the issue. Overall the conference has been super fun, the best part being meeting people from all over canada! Our (nicole and kim) first workshop was with Rolf Holzkaemper.

We all met up at Leval School for a group breakfast. An improv group from a local school showed their stuff, it was fun to watch them. After that the sessons for the day started. Time to keep learning! The morning started out early today, and the nice weather from yesterday has disappeared, it was windy and cold as we left the house.
