This is earth week in sl as you know from the Events section.There are activities going on all over sl to raise awareness of the environmental need for saving our planet.
I was sorry to miss the opening at action Island on the 18th. This morning I went over to Africa Alive Live in the Estings sim. Quite a few people showed up to take the tour of the mangroves with the leader, artemisia Mathy, She guided us through the mangroves along a boardwalk, occasionally jumping in the water . Along the way are informational maps and slide shows and posters showing what is being done to preserve the mangroves in Africa along with the flora and fauna that inhabit them It was an informative and a delight to the senses.
The sights and sounds of the birds and animals that live there made it enjoyable.
Artemisia explained that people from all over the world are visiting the four month old exhibit perhaps tracing their roots. There is a classroom and an auditorium for events.
Videos are shown there and one can also pick up a list of videos on the web regarding many environmental issues. You can find artifacts from Africa in the shop near the auditorium and also some African freebies.
I will be checking out more of the events during the week and reporting on them but you can see what is happening also by visiting the website, http://slearthweek.wordpress.
You can pick up a Hud at the locations with the list of events also.
Be sure you put the Africa sim on the list of places to visit. I plan to go back there again . Estings 248,119,21
