zERO ISSUE

The 2012 is a green year in EYP - Ukraine. We are promoting this topic at all events including our International Forum in Odesa under the slogan: TheSunrise of EcoUnity

Therefore the Media Team will underline and develop the subject during the session, keeping the academic character of materials and mixing it with lot of entertainement using the unofficial topic of the session (to be announced soon) and its owntheme - The Green Banana

Many of you may ask: "Why Bananas?" Obviously it is not very clear at first, but if you think deeper it fits perfect into the session's concept. The tropic fruit raises the summer mood of the event, reminds us of delicious desserts and pleasant emotions. It is "Green" - eating fruits is more ECO. An article onthis subject will be published later

We would like to welcome you to this forum, and to wish you on behalf of the Media Team a productive session, new friedships, cultural exchange and lotof sun in your hearts

PhOTOS BY MARIA ShChERBAK

Long-long time ago a great island as large as north Africa and the near East combined existed in the Atlantic Ocean. The island belonged to tall and manly Ovseidon who ruled there with a beautiful muse Anniel, known for her sincere and amazing smile. Ovseidon built a city on the island, and on a mountain in the center of the city, he built a palace for Anniel. They had ten loyal servants.Ovseidon divided the island among them, giving each a part to rule in

This city was better than paradise. It was a cheerful place of great joy where citizens did not even hear about evil and misery. Unfortunately, everyone else envied them. Angered by this utopia, Zeus sent an earthquake, that made Atlantis sink into the sea in the course of one day and one night. And so Ovseidonbecame the king of the ocean, and Anniel turned into a Mermaid

Thousands of years have passed since then. Bet still all races share the story of a great flood that destroyed an entire civilization. The name Atlantis appears in various forms throughout the world. On the Canary Islands they have a legend involving Atalaya. The Basques of northern Spain have Atlaintica. The vikings told the tale of Atli. northern Africa called it Attala. The Aztecs have Aztlán, and the north American Indianscalled theirs Azatlán

You may think that this is the end, but it is too early to put a period to this legend. Ovseidon and Anniel are gaining strength to resurrect their kingdom. The place was not chosen by accident. The city of romance,art, humor, poems, theaters, museums and

THE KING AND THE MERMAIDOvseidon and Anniel

beautiful seaside, Odesa, is,perhaps, the most Atlantis-looking town today

hand by hand Ovseidon and Anniel will be trying to revive the legend and all we have to do is to take a deep breath and simply enjoy observingthem doing their best

PICK-UP HINTS

Jelly kissthe officials' game

Every official is assigned with a victim.The objective of the game is to kill as many victims as possible. In order to kill a victim you should kiss them on the neck. The murder should not be seen by other jellyfish, though it is ok if the deadjelly-fish see it Once you killed your victim you are to kill their victim. You also obtain the list of the people your victimhas killed You will get the name of your victimfrom Iryna the journo

The age old proverb "Everybody talks about weather, but nobody does anything about it" is not valid anymore in this century. Since the

Kyoto Protocol was first signed in the late 1990's, many efforts have been made by governments and NGO's worldwide to face global warming and achieve climate stability. Devastation of the ecosystem, water contamination, melting ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are only some of the problems caused by

the Greenhouse Effect This phenomenon has spread waves of anxiety all over the world and calls

THE TRUTH BEHIND CARBON TAx

for immediate reactions. The most important measures nowadays are carbon taxes and the -so called- emmissions' trading scheme. Which is more effective? To find out stay tuned in the "crashtest" that follows

To begin with, what is carbon tax? In the narrowest sense, carbon taxes are governmentally mandated fees levied on entities whose activities lead to the production and emission into the atmosphere of dangerous gases, such as carbon dioxide. Their advantages are numerous: they can be implemented quickly, they are stable in their costs, they are not susceptible to "strategic behaviour" by large firms and, obviously, they are good sources of revenues the state. On

Journo-HuntCan you catch them all?

Delegates! We have a competition for you. its between the committees, and here is the challenge: take a picture with journo. the main concept of this game is to take as many pictures with journoes as possible. But there are some rules in this game as well.№ 1 one journo must be shot only once№2 one delegate must be shot only once№3 You have to send/give your photos to any journo by 18th 22: 00All the results will be available right after the GA, so good luck to you all! May the best paparazzi-committee win!

We’re going on a journo-hunt, but we’re not scared‘cause we got cameras!and cell-phoneslots of themyeah!

the other hand there is also a negative side: the level at which a tax is set to produce the best outcomes cannot be known in advance. Thus, it may have to go through several changes before having the desired effect, becomingpolitically vulnerable

Now let's move on to the emissions' trading scheme. The what?, many of you may ask in confusion. Well, to answer your (hypothetical)question it's a market- based approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. The recent use of this program encourages

companies to reduce their greenhouse gases' emissions in exchange for money, creating a perfect environment for fruitful competition and technological innovation. however, one drawback is its questionable transparency that poses a severe threat to the proper functioning of the scheme; there is no legal framework to protect businesses from substantial losses anddisruptions

So, which of the aforementioned measures should be implemented to pave the way for sustainable development of our planet? The answer is both. And perhaps we need to become more responsible, in order shift to decreasing the worsteffects of climate change
