1l Think Ecotourism Tom was really excited - at least for a short time. Last n ight, his parents came home and announced that the family was going on holiday to an i sland that is famous for its waves. Immediately, images of a luxurious hotel, with its own private beach, came to Tom 's mind. Sadly for him, this was not to be. Their accommodation was going to be in a "homestay" - living together with a local family. Tom's parents explained to him that touri sm consumes massive amounts of energy and i s a huge contributor to the destruction of our planet. For thi s reason, they will use transport and services that use less energy, thereby reducing environmental damage. They assured him that this was the only way to minimi se their carbon footpri nt (the amount of carbon emissions each of us creates). Tom and his family are going to be ecotourists. Ecotourism means travelling to isolated areas where tourists can enjoy the scenery, wildlife and local culture, while at the same time improving the lives of the local people and helping conserve the environment. Tourists stay in environmentally-friendly accommodation or l ive with the locals in a homestay. There, they can choose to unwind and take in the local sites or go out into the fields to help harvest the crops. In this way, both the tourists and the locals exchange something more significant than just money. I nterestingly, ecotourism has now become so popular that it is not uncommon to see luxury ecotourism packages advertised, promi sing all the luxuries of an expensive holiday with the added benefit of knowing that you are doing your bit to save the planet. So, if you want to travel like Tom and his family, reduce your carbon footprint, and still ensure that you are travelling both comfortably and responsibly, check out the destinations listed on the International Ecotourism Society website. And if that doesn't work for you, you can always ride your bike to the nearest national park and simply pitch your tent there.

Where Have All the Grandparents Gone? After their second freezing winter in Manchester, retired teacher Col in and his wife Angela made a life-changing decision. They would say goodbye to the UK, their family and friends, and start a new life i n the sun. After checking out a few alternati ves, a decision was made to move to a small village in the South of France. Colin explains, "Once I ' d retired, I found it really e xpensive being at home all day. My heating bills soared and I felt trapped in the gloomy English climate." Colin and Angela are two British pensioners, out of more than three million, who have chosen somewhere else in Europe to live, mainly i n Spain and the South of France. The ri sing cost of living and the bad climate in the U K are the main reasons for their leaving. With the emergence of the European U nion, all European pensioners could move if they wanted to and still receive their pensions. H owever, it seems that thi s is a phenomenon typical of Bri tish pensioners. Consequently, estate agents in Spain and France actively target them, selling them the dream of a "life in the sun". There are some towns on the Costa del Sol i n Spain where it is hard to find a Spanish speaker, and fish and chip shops and golf courses are everywhere . B ritish retirees are generally recei ved with enthusiasm since much of the local economy is dependent on the newcomers' money. B ritish pensioners, who are looking for an authentic French village or a livelier town under the Spanish sun, can find one at a bargain price, while still receiving their B ritish pensions. It seems that it is now up to the British travel agents to target the grandchildren - "Holidays in France and Spain at unbelievable prices, with a trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa thrown in, too !"

Sport for Peace and More The scene was a familiar one - a basketball match . Like in any such event, the tension could be felt in the air. Everyone took a deep breath as Ruba stood ready to shoot. She stood, aimed and effortlessly shot the ball into the hoop. There was an enthusiastic cheer as the crowd expressed their joy. However, this was more than just another match. This was the realisation of a young Iraqi girl ' s dream - to be just like everyone else and to have the opportunity to play sport. Sports lessons, tournaments and camps are a part of a child's normal everyday life in the developed world. Whether a child chooses to participate or not, they have endless opportunities. Yet, in much of the developing world, where war is too often the norm, sport is not always part of a child's reality. Sport for Peace, run by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), understands that sport can be a method for change in areas of conflict and hardship. They assert on their website that: "Sport is a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and networks, and to promote ideals of peace, fraternity, solidarity, non-violence, tolerance and justice." In El Salvador, where tensions have long existed with neighbouring Honduras, a Sport for Peace programme was set up to encourage greater participation in physical education and sport, in order to put a stop to violence, drug use and hatred. And in Mozambi que, a country where talking about AIDS is taboo, a sports programme was also set up to provide information about HIV and AIDS. The participants were provided with unique sporting opportunities and educational sessions about AIDS prevention and treatment. With numerous other such projects and organisations using sport to encourage cooperation, friendship and peace, it goes without saying that sport can do more than simply produce a healthy body and mind.

Coober Pedy - White Man's Hole in the Ground After a gruelling 850 km drive from Adelaide, with virtually nothing to look at but the Australian desert, or the "Outback" as the locals like to call it, you eventually reach Coober Pedy, the opal capital of the world. Following the discovery of massive quantities of precious opal gemstones by Willie Hutchinson i n 1 9 1 5 , fortune seekers from all over the country came to this isolated area in search of the valuable, colourful stones that would make them rich . Armed with little more than a pick and shovel, these early miners began tunnelling underground. Word spread fast, and Coober Pedy, or "White Man's Hole in the Ground", as the local Aborigines called it, was founded. At first glance, the town looks almost deserted, with nothing but a few shacks, the occasional bush and a small number of trees. Scattered over the landscape are tall pipes that operate as ventilation spouts, providing oxygen to the people livi ng and working underground. With temperatures of over 40 degrees in summer and as low as 6 degrees in winter, the weather conditions can make life above ground unbearable. As a result, the early settlers decided that they would stay underground 24 hours a day, where temperatures remained comfortable all year. Over time, abandoned mines were converted into homes, known as "dugouts", which is where most of the locals live to this day. The opal capital of the world is not a pretty place, yet it is well worth a visit. So, if you want to experience life in an underground town, and pick up a few opals while you are there, I strongly recommend a stay in Coober Pedy, i n the middle of the Australian nowhere.

Presenting the Mockumentary It was 8 pm on S unday, 30th October 1 938, and millions of Americans were sitting around their wirelesses listening to a radio show, when it appeared to be intenupted by a news broadcast. Listeners were told that "a huge flaming object" had fallen from the sky onto a farm in New Jersey, and aliens from another planet were exiting what appeared to be a spaceship. The nation panicked. The broadcast was so lifelike that it seemed to actually be happening. In fact, the broadcast was a radio play, adapted from H .G. Wells' 1 898 novel, The War of the Worlds. The location had been changed, but the story was still that of a Martian invasion of Earth. Orson Welles, the creator, was accused of purposely causing nationwide panic. However, what he was really aiming to do was to produce a new style of entertainment which would blur the line between reality and fiction . This genre would later become known as the mockumentary. Mockumentaries appear to be documentaries relating real-life events interspersed with interviews. I nitially, the audience may think that what they are witnessing is real, but the often outrageous content ultimately makes it clear that it is, in fact, a fictional representation . One of the best examples of this genre is the British TV series The Office, which portrays the daily running of a paper company in an ordinary English town. At first glance, the manager, David B rent, is seemingly professional, but the viewer soon realises that he's completely unprofessional, and his staff is unmotivated and ordinary. The scenarios that arise in the workplace are both embanassing and hilarious. The genius of this show, and other successful mockumentaries, is the combination of clever scriptwriting along with improvisations by talented actors, and the use of seemingly hidden cameras that record events as they "unfold". This is achieved through the use of satire, while pushing the traditional boundaries of film making. However, if the audience misses the opening credits, they may mistakenly believe that they are watching the news, which could once again result in panic.

The Chooky Dancers Ten young Aboriginal men, covered in white facial paint and dressed in traditional clothes, are on stage . The crowd is quiet and respectful as they wait for the men to begin a traditional Aboriginal dance depicting a tale from the "Dream time" - the Aboriginal story of creation. A techno version of the theme song from the 1 964 film Zorba the Greek begins to play, surprising the audience. They go wild, watching the dancers moving to the music. This fusion of Aboriginal and Greek cultures is both innovative and hilarious. Unknown to everyone, this is the start of something big for the Chooky Dancers of Elcho Island, located off the coast of Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory of Australia. Dance, used for telling stories about Dreamtime, has always been an important aspect of Aboriginal culture . For Aborigines, Dreamtime was when the world was created by massive creatures that looked like animals, plants and insects . As the creatures roamed the world in search of food and water, they created the mountains, valleys and plains. These mythical creatures then passed on their wisdom to the Aborigines, who protected their heritage and traditional way of life through various ceremonies, songs and dances still practised to this day. For young people growing up in remote parts of Australia, such as Elcho Island, their heritage is very important. However, they are not cut off from other cultures. Modern technologies, such as the Internet, with its ability to reach the most remote places on the planet, have exposed the Aborigines to other cultures and vice versa. In 2007, the world was introduced to the Chooky Dancers, who uploaded their version of Zorba the Greek onto YouTube . Their success was i n stantaneous - "These boy s came from nowhere, and after 1 2 months they are celebrities themse l v e s , " - e xplained their manager, Frank Dj irrimbilpilwuy. The magic of the Chooky Dancers is their ability to combine traditional Aboriginal dance with music and dance styles from other cultures. They are also very funny to watch. The Chooky Dancers' success has given young Aboriginal teenagers throughout Australia a sense of pride and enthusiasm.
