That terrible day 19 years ago, has had long term ramifications for human health that will continue to affect many future generations. Building a behavioral bridge means we have to learn to deal with people who may be wrong and who might assert their power to implement their own selfish, fear-driven goals. We can’t simply tell them they are wrong, and we also can’t be afraid of the wrong use of power. Instead, we have to engage in the difficult World Information Transfer 2 World Ecology Report Fall/Winter 2005 task of understanding the ideas as well as the motivations of those who would impede our bridge building, and we have to persevere. Let’s look at a specific example dealing with the regula- tion of Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPs. On May 17, 2004, the legally binding international treaty to control toxic chemicals—the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)—entered into force, providing an unprecedented legal framework to ban or severely restrict the production and use of some of the world’s most toxic chemicals. More than 150 governments have Students from Octorara Area High School in Pennsylvania signed the POPs Treaty, which seeks global elimination of with their teacher Mr. Jeff Butch.

  • IV International Conference CHERNOBYL CHILDREN – HEALTH EFFECTS and PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION June 2-6 2003, Kiev, Ukraine
    1 First Announcement IV International Conference CHERNOBYL CHILDREN – HEALTH EFFECTS AND PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION June 2-6 2003, Kiev, Ukraine … Millions of people continue to be directly affected by the consequences of this disaster. I remain deeply concerned by their plight. It is particularly disturbing that few people realize the multitude of problems that are still linked to this event and its aftermath. Acute suffering continues. At least three million children require physical treatment. Vast areas of forest and agricultural land have been contaminated. Radiation levels in some areas are still well above normal. People still live with great fear, and those who contemplate having children see one of the great joys in life become yet another source of insecurity. This disaster is a matter of global concern. International assistance has been an important part of the response, including through the United Nations. We are now moving towards a long-term approach that would bring help to the most affected people and communities, and promote a return to normalcy… Kofi A.

Disney.com/Terabithia BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA PRODUCTION NOTES “Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.” PRODUCTION NOTES —Leslie Deep in the woods, far beyond the road, across a stream, lies a secret world only two people on Earth know about—a world brimming with fantastical creatures, glittering palaces and magical forests. This is Terabithia, where two young friends will discover how to rule their own kingdom, fight the forces of darkness and change their lives forever through the power of the imagination. From Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the producers of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and based on one of the most beloved novels of all time, comes an adventurous and moving tale that explores the wonders of friendship, family and fantasy: BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. The story begins with Jess Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON), a young outsider on a quest to become the fastest kid in his school. But when the new girl in town, Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA ROBB), leaves Jess and everyone else in her dust, Jess’s frustration with her ultimately leads to them becoming fast friends. At first, it seems Jess and Leslie couldn’t be more different—she’s rich, he’s poor, she’s from the city, he’s from the country—but when Leslie begins to open up the world of imagination to Jess, they find they have something amazing to share: the kingdom of Terabithia, a realm of giants, ogres and other enchanted beings that can only be accessed by boldly swinging across a stream in the woods on a strand of rope.
