Note
Yikes! No time to run today. The conference was 8:30-6:00, and then there was a dinner at 7 that took more than two hours! Yikes. It was around the end of sunset when I left, so I just went for a short walk. Tomorrow will either run early or just pick up a sandwich from a cafe and have the evening.
The conference was interesting though, and they let me film during it, which will really help my project.
- They made a giant greenhouse for lunch and dinner, so they wouldn't use energy for heating
- The chairs and tables in the lounges are all made of cardboard so they can recycle them
- The first thing for dinner was a plate of four or five kinds of fish. Yikes! Decided I should go with it, and ate the fish (success!), but then another plate of fish came. They're going with all local food since it's a sustainability conference, so there'll probably be more seafood.
- There's an awesome translating system because about half the speeches are in French and one was in Italian. I think it would be really hard to translate since you have to listen at the same time as talking.
