Charling Tao
Mrs. Charling Tao, was born in 1955 in Taiwan. She grew up in France, Zaire, Lebanon, studied in Harvard, Chicago, Oxford, and considers herself a citizen of the world. She is the proud mother of two (a lawyer and an architect) and shares her time between Beijing and Marseilles (France), and whatever places her profession (particle physicist and cosmologist) and activism (peace, human rights, environment) require.
Concerning environmental education, Charling believes it is fundamental that everyone in the world understands that the world today is in danger, but there might be hope, if we act immediately. We need to invent new forms of sensibilization and participation, to help people take action against the destruction of our planet (environments, cultures and people).
Technically there are solutions to solve the problems of hunger, and stop environmental destruction. We need however to convince everyone on this planet that it is time for action. Earth's hope is meant to address those fundamental issues.
