"Globalization was supposed to break down barriers between continents and bring all peoples together. But what kind of globalization do we have with over one billion people on the planet not having safe water to drink?"
"Water and sanitation problems have reached boiling point: children are dying unnecessarily at the rate of 20 jumbo jets crashing every single day."
"We have the ability to provide clean water for every man, woman and child on the Earth. What has been lacking is the collective will to accomplish this. What are we waiting for? This is the commitment we need to make to the world, now."

"I might add, the experience and the learning
that went on was incredible. From watching the students helping out with
computer issues to the discussion that took place as to the best methods of
building a sustainable environment it was truly brilliant."
"My students loved this activity. We certainly didn't get into it as completely as it probably deserved , but they all grasped the complexities of balancing all the needs."
"Highly recommend this activity - we did this a few weeks ago. Was a great learning experience and very engaging for our students."
The primary school aged students from my school who participated in the EcoChallenge would like to thank the organisers for giving us the opportunity to participate in such a challenging and thought-provoking activity. Although they may not have scored in the thousands they were really engaged in trying to achieve the highest score for our school and learnt a lot about the many variables involved in having sustainable ecosystems involving industry, food production, power generation and the maintenance of a clean water supply for the population. Thanks very much for your efforts!
“I had several students explain the game
features and what they were trying to achieve to our Sustainability Teacher and
that in itself was fantastic. They were so enthusiastic it was a delight to
behold.”
