During their journey, they met the pioneers who are re-inventing agriculture, energy, economy, democracy and education. Joining those concrete and positive actions which are already working, they began to figure out what could be tomorrow's world…
"Clean air, water, and a livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics, it is a question of our own survival."
"If we are destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another... there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter."
"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together… all things connect."
"In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace."
Thinks to Leo DiCaprio and all good global initiatives gathering on the importance of switching to renewable energy to tackle the climate crisis.
The Sahara wasn’t always a desert — 7,000 years ago it was a savannah where grasslands and animals thrived. Eventually the weather changed; the rain slowed, then stopped, and the desert took over.
When Michal Huniewicz was getting ready to visit Mauritania, he found an old book on West Africa, and within the pages he found something that caught his eyes: The Forgotten Libraries of the Sahara, part of a town, Chinguetti, that was a 17th-century hub.
“What could be more romantic?” asked Huniewicz. When Michael arrived, he found what felt like a ghost town, though 4,000 people live there, and there are librarians who will still show you the old books housed in the libraries.
See these ancient and forgotten treasures that lie in the middle of the African Sahara and the unique history they reveal.
Al Barari, a unique and ground-breaking eco-friendly residential community in Dubai, a vision of an exceptional botanic haven, unrivalled in its ecological sensitivity, has been realised by the passionate founder and chairman, Mr. Zaal Mohammed Zaal. It is this vision that continues to propel Al Barari to keep discovering and become the benchmark for sustainable luxury in the region.
As Dubai grew and developed, so too did Al Barari. This new way of living encompasses 217 wondrous villas, a gourmet restaurant, a state-of-the art health club, and the region's largest privately-owned plant nursery. Eighty percent of the 4.2-million-square-foot development is made up of green, lush space, beautiful themed gardens, naturally landscaped lakes and freshwater streams.
With the exclusive Al Barari estate flourishing, it is time for another chapter in the unfurling story of Al Barari Dubai to be unveiled. This includes Ashjar, Seventh Heaven, a luxury boutique resort, and much more that will be sheltered by lush forests and set within an exuberant community.
With over 80% of Al Barari dedicated to seemingly endless greenery, this green heart of Dubai consists of over 325 acres with 1,800 different kinds of plants. Al Barari features 6 themed gardens, namely the Mediterranean, Balinese, Water, Renaissance, Contemporary and Woodland Garden.

A commitment to sustainability and responsible eco-conscience development means that Al Barari's architecture, landscaping and infrastructure actively embrace good environmental practice.
One of Morocco's most important cultural centres, Marrakech is nicknamed the 'Red City' after the crimson colour of its ramparts, houses and monuments. An oasis in a desert-like landscape, this historic city attracts a fashionable crowd of winter sun seekers together with fashionistas, hedonists and idealists, who travel in search of adventure amidst its Souks, Chic Bars, Guest Houses/Riads and Artefacts.
A Guide tour of the city with Intrepid Travel doesn’t just help you to find your bearings, but also enhances your stay in this fascinating and beguiling destination.The tour unravels the mysteries of Marrakech as it takes in places of interest including the Medina, museums, the imposing Koutoubia Mosque and an old boy’s 12th century boarding school. When it comes to shopping, a Guide tour knew exactly where to go to, starting with a very high end department store that sold furnishings, jewellery and lovely ornaments indigenous to Morocco. And, of course the Souk is an absolute must. It’s a real experience and once you work your way passed the outskirts – where the cheaper touristy shops are – and into the old traditional part, it’s a different story.The Souk is laid out in labyrinth-style streets according to fashions, so there are the streets selling slippers, the street of spices and so on, but it would be very easy to get lost. In fact, a Guide tour help several bemused travellers find their way out, so a Guide is worth every penny! you will become mesmerised by craftsmen who skilfully turned all manner of things into the most beautiful handcrafted items. Leather-workers making hand-sewn bags, slippers and purses and wallets, metal workers transforming copper and tin into decorative lanterns, pots and trays, and wool for carpets and clothing being dyed traditionally using fruits and vegetables in hot vats.
Once you’ve explored the city, I recommend taking the High Atlas Mountains excursion which is a peaceful contrast to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. In North Africa there’s greatest mountain range, you will see how lush and varied Morocco is and how poor and untouched by commerciality it is in some parts. There are plenty of opportunities to stop and take photos of the landscape. The trip also includes lunch at the stunning hotel, Kasbah Tamadot or Kasbah of Toubkal where good food and service was accompanied by more beautiful views.
Morocco’s weather adds to its charms, attracting visitors year-round. The winters are bright and crisp, autumn sees the best produce hitting the markets, spring sees the Atlas Mountains covered with flowers and the red-hot summers can be offset with visits to the breezy, sandy coast.
30 years of age, a new decade, new resolutions? Not for now. For her birthday, the singer Katy Perry made a stop in Marrakech where a show smells of "Arabian Nights" was waiting.
The beautiful singer has not done things by half. She went to the Red City, accompanied by her family and friends.
Katy Perry chose Morocco and especially the Imperial City, Marrakech, mainly because of the beauty of the Pearl of the South and its status as a safe haven, according to US sites "US Magazine "and" The Hollywood Reporter ".
On October 25, it was a spectacle worthy of the atmosphere of the Arabian Nights, who was waiting with, among others, dancers who juggled with fire and swords. Of course, who thinks Marrakech thinks eastern arabian side.
According to a close source, the band have spent all weekend there and both nights were magical. By the way, do not forget all the Moroccan splendor of a thousand lights that shone through the local cuisine, served both nights.
Back in Paris, travelers seemed freshed this special occasion. 30 years is not a trivial age, it is entering a new decade, that stars like Katy Perry celebrate know better than anyone.
A little fun before resuming her concert on November 7 in Perth (Australia). A tour that will end in Stockholm (Sweden), March 22, 2015.
The entire trip was planned by event coordinator Mindy Weiss. On Oct. 25 (Perry’s actual birthday), the singer tweeted, “Overwhelmed with love today…”
