On April 14th the International Herald Tribune describes "a sweeping series of measures introduced by Chinese officials that will freeze construction projects, shutter chemical plants and close down obsolete gas stations around Beijing this summer in an attempt to clear the air for the Olympics." MESPOM Intercultucal Communication class at Lake Balaton in September 2007 ended with an exercise to solve the problem of Beijing air pollution during the Olympics. Guess what? The winning group of students proposed to stop all construction. Well done!

I come from China and joined MESPOM after graduating from Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University in Japan. At MESPOM I followed the "Preventive Environmental Strategies" track at Lund University.

Finishing MESPOM was an accomplishment in life. Toward the end of the program, I received a job offer from a small UK carbon trading company with an office in Shanghai. My boss from Australia has great attitude and convinced me to come back to China although my original plan was to stay in Europe.
