Every year the U.S Department of energy organizes the solar decathlon. This is a competition about building using solar energy and new ideas about bioclimatics. The teams build innovative systems in ecological houses. This year the eco-productivity is a tendency in architecture of houses in this competition.
The climate change is a challenge for cities. Environmental contamination makes us consider the possibilities to find another way to build cities.
Young people of Valle del Cauca wrote letters for FARC members. These were handwritten and also written on a computer. In these letters the young people said to FARC members that the Colombian people are eagerly awaiting them. The letters are from twelve year old kids, mothers and many young people. Sandra Parra, a law student at Unicatólica says: “It is a way to welcome them to a civil life” and she is also one of the promoters of the idea to write 6.900 letters.

The idea born in the last World Summit of Nobel Peace prize in February. In this event, Kailash Satyarthi a nobel peace prize winner, said that Valentine's day could be used to write letters to the refugees instead of love letters. Young people took this idea, but, they have decided to write letters to FARC members and in this way provide them with support. The letters were written in Cali, Buga, Yotoco, Barranquilla, Manizales and many other places in Colombia, but the idea is that all Colombian people should write a reconciliation letter. The goal is to distribute the letters starting on April 1st. Each letter will be delivered with a white flower made of paper so it never dies.
