Solar Generation

by Miko Alino, SG Pilipinas

The unpredictable European showers were not a factor as cheers and applause from the crowd drowned the rains at the Karneval der Kulturen in Berlin last weekend. Greenpeace Youth and Solar Generation also took part in the revelry with a one-of-a-kind march to promote renewable energy. Wearing various costumes (which ranged from penguins and filthy-rich people to carefree tourists and smoke-belching cars), we marched on the streets of Berlin to remind people that there is only one earth and we need to act now against climate change. Although drenched in rain, everyone seems to have enjoyed the event. I did! :)
