Over 100 children from seven nations gathered recently at the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, to discuss what they could do to prevent environmental destruction.

The International Juniors' Conference for the Environment, organized Saturday by the nonprofit-making Taiyoh-no-Kai (Society of the Sun), brought together youth, from ages 9 to 15, from Japan, China, South Korea, France, Romania, Canada and the United States.

Participants in the conference, which this year marked its 10th anniversary, exchanged ideas on what they could do to coexist with nature, preserve natural resources and promote peace.
