  1. i would suggest something on ecology and environment--
    i would suggest :
    1."Modern technology
    Owes ecology
    An apology.
    ~Alan M. Eddison"
    -- its a quote
    2. acta est fabula plaudite (latin for: "The play has been performed; applaud!")
    3.deliriant isti Romani (latin for :"They are mad, those Romans!"::A translation into Latin from René Goscinny's ils sont fous, ces romains!, frequently issued by Obelix in the Asterix comics - wikipedia: but may be too abstract for conveying the topic i suggested)
    4.Don't blow it - good planets are hard to find. ~Quoted in Time
    5.Because we don't think about future generations, they will never forget us. ~Henrik Tikkanen
    6.Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites. ~William Ruckelshaus, Business Week, 18 June 1990
    7.interesting slogan for environmental protection:: "Save Earth, this is the only planet with girls !" lol - not a suggestion though!!
    8. "I will work for trees when I grow up"-- misquoted from some source; but improved effect i think!

  3. How about
    "A ray of hope ", "The world as I see it",
    " Nature or machines , what controls are future ? "
    I'll think for some more and let you know..

  4. As Anukriti rightly mentioned that the theme should have a rather universal appeal, I suggest that since many of the Indian traditions which seem rather ridiculous are actually pretty scientific in their design. Those rituals or trends have survived the test of time as they actually help us indirectly without us even knowing that.

    The participants could shoot some of such rituals in action and later on explain how scientific it was.
