Background: Hello, my name is Alex Daraseng and I am 24 years old. I run a social enterprise/student group who's mission is to inspire and engage Canadian youth to become global citizens who creatively solve the problems of our future world. It's called Students Against Global Apathy (SAGA). I like books, travel adventures, wonderful people, and foods that start with the letter c. In one week I have to give a presentation to at a conference that answers the question below.... I could do it myself, but I thought with your help I could do it better. Let's try this social experiment in crowdsourcing and see if we can all learn some new tricks by the end of the day. LIFE IS A  VERB!! GO!!
