Action+Plan+Environmental+Global+database+of+impacts+around+the+World

ACTION NAME: **Produce a database of environmental impacts on local neighbourhoods from our student’s home countries.**

Examine possibilities to gather ideas and information with an environmental focus and project ideas from all students and where possible their national committees. One goal is to bring attention to these issues and make students realise that we care and want to learn to their nation's problems, needs and successes. By doing this we can hope to get good ideas from around the globe and, for example, achieve a truly global approach to the problem of global warming. We want to use our global network to gain a strong enough international standing and expertise to become an informed cooperation partner on environmental issues. May 2012 The LEAF (Living Environment and Future) EAC is promoting a sustainable future through raising awareness of environmental issues around the world and seeking solutions to them.
