Tomorrow is the big opening of "Expo Zaragoza 2008" which is "the biggest water festival on earth" as they call it. The inauguration ceremony will take place tonight in Zaragoza, Spain. The ceremony will be presided by the King and Queen of Spain, in the presence of the President of the Spanish government, and the royal family.
The spectacle of this first part is titled "El gozo del agua: las cuatro estaciones" (The Joy of Water: The Four Seasons). One hundred different countries will have their own platform to explain their own concept, culture and importance of water in their region and how can we all help preserve it for future generations with sustainable solutions.
There's going to be something called "The Water Tribune", and its role is to provide intellectual foundations and platforms to more than 2000 international experts in the field of water, ten different themed weeks divided into 25 major themes. Climate change, the geopolitics of water, health and education are elements that are presented on these themes. All of this to put forward proposals for public policies, debate and solutions to the new paradigm and the future of water. An international Symposium on Water and Sustainable Development will take place next 11th of September.

Tomorrow is "Mexico's day" and every day a different country will open it's platform to the public. The Mexican platform will show the importance and diversity of environments that exists in the country, making consciousness and showing to the public the beauty of it. The Mexican president will be there tomorrow, as a Mexican learning more about 'sustainability' by the day I am very interested to see how this amazing project develops.
