Michael 12th Sept. at Glenwood Springs

G'day, Well the day started with a hurry as we arrived at the 5470 District Conference early, but we were one short, we were introduced to the district. The team then went through the presentation to make some alterations to tailor it to the people at the conference and reflect what we had done and seen over the past 4 weeks. After lunch the team made a small presentation of Aboriginal paintings, banners , pins and District Governors present to both the District Governor and the Coordinator of our trip. Our presentation was not until 2.45 so a long wait, however the outbound team to Australia arrived and we had a long talk with the team. The presentation to the district was a breakout session and about 20 people came to see and hear us it made for a very informal session, with time to ask questions during our presentation and after to really get into GSE teams, what it is all about, and what we got out of our trip. An aside was being able to catch up with people we had staid with and to revisit through them our past 4 weeks. Home for a rest was the order of the after noon as we had the the formal dinner in the evening held at the Hotel Colorado, district presentations and a speaker Amory Lovins, he is the chairman and chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute, a MacAurthur Fellowship recipient, written many books on energy efficiency, renewable energy. His talk was on the global warming and energy efficiency in vehicles, electricity and industry and how theses will save industry money not cost more money and how governments should reward efficiency not wastefully practices. He was a fantastic presenter and the whole auditorium was captivated by his presentation
