Cop15 Preparation WIKI Keeping Track of Organizations, Contacts, Connections- within and without **
 * 
 * 1) Jump to the stream of "contactness" page where we list activities and contacts in chronological order.
 * 2) Jump to the organization list . This is an alpha listing of organizations in this WIKI with links to each organizations WIKI page (check out number 3)
 * 3) Organization Pages. Add a new page for each organization you contact, work with, that contacts you, or that you read or hear about. Keep with the WIKI format of providing information about the organization that is non-judgmental and non-trivial. Provide links to the organization's website and any other sites that you feel provide valuable insights into the organization.

REMEMBER- Feel free to edit the pages of others. Correcting errors, adding content, providing links, formating the page to increase readibility and clarity. code

 ==Climate change is a diverse and complicated issue that the youth of the School of Environmental Studies in Apple Valley, Minnesota are actively concerned about. Knowledge of this subject is critical if we are to take action against a change in climate. This wikispace is dedicated to inform the community of the basic facts, organizations, consequences, terms and issues involved with climate change as well as our participation and observations at the COP-15 conference in Copenhagen, Denmark this upcoming December. ==
