The University of Belize observed Earth Day today with an open today promoting green energy resources.
The day was themed, "A New Wave of Green Energy" and 7news was at the UB Gymnasium in Belmopan.
7news was there and the Organizer told us that they hoped to make a lasting impression:..
Loretta Logan, Coordinator - UB Earth Day
"When it comes to Earth Day we are specifically talking about awareness. There is no way that we can tell you what to do but by teaching you through education like what the UB logo says and the motto "Education empowers a nation" that's exactly what we are doing today. We are teaching about the important of alternative energy like what we said in our speech for a greener and safer tomorrow."
"In terms of out theme "A new wave of green energy" the idea of awareness as you can see as you walk around the campus itself. What we do is that we have games and booths; we have students' information booths that explain our theme so you could get a better idea. The games are a more practical approach, so by the time you leave here you are supposed to understand what is a new wave of green energy."
"We are the national university and so we are trying to show that example and some of the kids on the tours - we are showing and teaching them about the solar energy so that in the future they themselves can take up this initiative."
