Congratulations!

Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Adolfo López Mateos prepare to  shake hands at a ceremony on September 25, 1964, to recognize the signing of the Chamizal Convention and approval by both countries.  This image symbolizes friendship and goodwill between the United States and Mexico and has become known as the "Handshake of the Century."

You have earned a symbolic “Handshake of the Century”!

Your sustainability efforts have now inspired people around the world to work together to discuss and solve environmental issues.

Even though the Chamizal dispute was about land and not environmental issues, this history gives everyone an example of how people from two nations could work together to solve a problem because they were committed to cooperation, diplomacy, friendship, and goodwill.

We want to hear from you!

Talk to the other players, and then send us a message. What did you think about this game? Let us know about anything that surprised you or something new you learned. What are some ways you can work together with your family and friends to help solve the environmental problems we face today?
