Skandar supports connect2earth

Mon, 06th AprR. PDT00ERE 00: 04: th

In 2008 with the support of Nokia, WWF and IUCN an online community was launched at www.connect2earth.org that is now entering a new phase.

The new service links you directly with friends and the world’s top environmental experts to discuss renewable energy, the species extinction crisis and climate change among other topics. You can debate, learn and share information by posting text, images, audio and video material and then follow the discussion live as it plays out on the web or on your mobile phone.

connect2earth community members, together with a jury of green experts, will then pick a winning contribution. The winner could win a trip to be part of an official delegation to the United Nations climate negotiations in Copenhagen later this year, or even get first-hand experience on a conservation project somewhere in the world.

Skandar is urging you to go www.connect2earth.org for your say in the future of our planet.

Darwin's Treasure Chest and The Great Plant Hunt

Wed, 25th MarR. PDT00ERE 00: 03: th

It can't have escaped your notice that 2009 is the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. As a great-great-great grandson of Charles Darwin Skandar presented Darwin's Treasure Chest to William Tyndale Primary School in Islington, London. The Great Plant Hunt is a project funded and devised by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to jump-start an interest in plant-based science by distributing a Treasure Chest to every maintained primary school in the UK.

On 11 March Skandar stood before the assembled school and read the first chapter of Following in Darwin's Footsteps. This is one of the booklets in the chest which also contains fun stickers, magnifiers, a plant identikit, a plant press and a mini seed bank. The children are invited to take part in a unique experiment which will help Kew's scientists at the Millenium Seed Bank. The project is supported by online resources.

Charles Darwin was only twenty-two years-old when he set out on his journey on HMS Beagle in 1831. The hope is that the Great Plant Hunt will inspire you too to set out on a life-altering path of caring for the natural world.

The June Newsletter is now out. Make sure you check out the website and keep up with the latest news about the project at www.greatplanthunt.org
