Young Adults from 14 Caribbean Countries Gather Material for
Environmental Book ROSEAU, Dominica Young adults from 14
Caribbean countries recently finished gathering material for a
book on the environment they hope will get more young people
involved in protection efforts. The book will highlight
environmental issues facing the region and provide examples of
how younger generations can influence government policies, said
organizer Frederick Arnett. "Our purpose is to bring about a
change in the mentality and attitude about the environment"
among young adults, Arnett said. The material was gathered from
30 environmental activists, ages 18 to 25, over the past week in
Roseau, Arnett said. Funding to publish the book will come from
the Barbados-based Caribbean Youth Environment Network and
United National Environmental Program, though no publication
date has been set. The program plans to sell copies across the
Caribbean. Source: Associated Press
