Lots of people in our age demographic (loosely defined as youth) has an opinion about the current green movement.
This October 23-26
PowerShift Ontario will be happening in Ottawa. Based on European and American conferences that have happened in previous years, the aim is to have youth from 16-25 participate in seminars, lectures and workshops as well as see performances, have a green job fair and lobby the government.

There is a group of Mac students set to attend. If you are going to register make sure to mention that you are part of the Hamilton, ON group as this will get you a discount!
What are your thoughts? Are you for or against this event? Why or why will you not be going?
