2007 will be the fourth consecutive year of Veolia Environnement's commitment to its sustainable development awareness program. Entitled "Tales around the world - Life stories of people with nature", this year's initiative will involve children from all over the world by using drawings and short stories to share with us their feelings about the relationship people have with nature.

With "Tales around the world" children allow the earth to have its say: what does it think of the depletion of natural resources? What does it think of human activity and its effects?

A prize-giving ceremony and exhibition of children's projects was held at the musée du quai Branly in Paris on June 1, 2007

All three previous Veolia Environnement sustainable development awareness campaigns - "Scroll around the world" in 2004, "Streamers around the world" in 2005 and "Sketches around the world" in 2006 - have proved enormously successful with children, teachers and the official bodies that have been happy to support these initiatives in over 20 countries.
