Because of the TOPtoTOP success at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, the Swiss Government asks us to attend again at the World Expo in Yeosu, Korea. Special thanks to Peter and Domenico (left), – the dream team at the Swiss Pavilion and all who did not hesitate to join me for a short climb to a TOP early mornings, before the expo opened.

Sabine sailed with our 4 kids the first time alone, while Dario went to Korea to give presentations about water.
Before Dario’s absent we had Swiss teacher Martina with her husband Simon and 10 month old Salome on board. During Dario’s absent, Sabine had a visit from her family. Thank you all for your great support and sharing time with us.
On the way back from Korea to Brazil, Dario stopped in Switzerland for some meetings regarding the next TOPtoTOP Climate Solution award expedition. Here a great example at the renewable energy center in Savognin, – the starting point for the next awarded students. Switzerland is still the champion in renewable energies, here another example of Vandy’s house in Mels that was transformed “solar”.
