I am reminded every day about the impact that each of us makes on the planet. My cousin takes photographs of the melting polar ice caps that are at once beautiful and alarming. And my sister is working to make her entire village "green," a place that will employ recycled building materials, rain water collectors, and solar panels.
I believe that the real leadership on the issue of the environment will come from young people. It's their voice, speaking out about the concerns and passions they have, that will shape their future more than any official policies.
They will soon step into a world that's theirs; so their views, their concerns about whether it will be stable and liveable, is vital for planning now in a conscious and ethical way. The role of education and art – the voice of creativity – is perhaps the most persuasive tool we have.
It's with all this in mind that I support WWF's latest musical for schools, ‘One Sun One World.’
Past productions have focused on the oceans, the Amazon rainforest, and urbanization in Africa. These musicals are subsequently produced by schools all over the world. Each child with his or her role to play; ‘One Sun One World’ centers on renewable resources and how we can make sustainable choices, every day.
Combining youth, art, and public policy is what WWF is all about. I'm pleased to be able to celebrate WWF's 50th Anniversary with you and all of the creators and performers who have brought ‘One Sun One World’ to life.
