How to get to the conference site
It's a pity this island does not exist in reality. Its left coast is washed by the Pacific Ocean as it looks from Cape Perpetua in Oregon, USA. The right coast enjoys waters of Streshna Lake in Siennenski district of Vitsyebsk Region, Belarus. Both the Nature and environmental issues are much the same from Oregonian ocean across the Atlantic to Belarusian lakes and beyond - up to the very Pacific as it seen from the eastern coast. We are much the same, too - Belarusians and Americans, Europe and America, the East and the West - denizens of Astrouna, Astrakhan, Ostrawa, and Austin - citizen of the planet Earth. We live together in this virtual island, and we should together preserve and save it from threatening tsunami - global environmental catastrophe. This is the very idea of our conference - to meet together, to consult, to exchange opinions on our environmental issues. Neither U.S. nor Belarusian, neither American nor European environmental issues urge - no other's, foreign environmental issues at all. We actually face this everybody's environmental challenge. That is why we appeal to creating public environmental community and civil society of conscious citizens loving this amazing island and this green planet. We invite to participate everyone, who shares our concern and our hope. Organizing Committee Conference languages: English, Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian |
