Following Saturday´s clean up of Dal Lake and the Tibetans Children´s Village, today´s World Earth Day marked a clean up of Temple Road and outside Yongling school.
As on Saturday, it continued to be a hot, sticky and smelly experience.
Many of Saturday´s helpers were not in evidence today, but were replaced with a new collection of international travellers, plenty of members of the Tibetan Women´s Movement and some school children who had classes cancelled for a while to help with the cleaning operations.
My group today included Tibetans, a Belgian woman, an American, an English woman and Thiago, a real cool Brazilian guy, making it a truly international experience.
To celebrate the end of the day, there was a showing of “An Inconvenient Truth”, the Al Gore green documentary. More´s the pity that Bush ended up with the presidency. And all because Jed Bush cheated in Florida!
