The 8th Eco-forum concert, the main theme being “Desire and Life,” was held in 90th Anniversary Hall on May 20. This Forum's purpose was to find a solution to environmental problems related with biological engineering.
  This day, the movie L'homme qui plantait des arebes was shown and New Age pianist Shin I-kyung played the films music scorn. Then Kim Jong-chul, publisher of Green Review, lectured on "Economic growth is over. Let's dance."
  'L'homme qui plantait des arebes' is very famous short film and won many international prizes. Kim Jong-chul said, "Originally, 'development' meant potential possibilities, not economic words. President Truman started using is words to mean economic development." He emphasized, "We need to stop economic growth and change our society's direction and values."
