"I believe that in our heart we know right from wrong - and there's much we see around us in our environment and the relations between people, both socially, economically and politically, where we feel: "this is not the right way for human beings to live - this is not the way we're supposed to relate to each other and our surroundings"

The GreeningWays Kudos - Honorary Award for Greening the Ways		  As long as we just wait to see where the dynamics of history leads us, we're doomed to be victims of circumstances. This dynamic is often dictated by other concerns, we learn to think in social, economical and political "realities", forcing us to put aside what our hearts are telling us and subsequently we stop listening and learn to adapt to these "realities" - powers that dictate our actions and interactions. We may protest against these realities - react, but to really change anything we must create the freedom and strength to turn the tide. When people start working together to build the lifes and communities they want, then good things will happen.
What is needed is leaders who don't seek power in traditional sense, but positions where they can empower their communites. Therefore we want to identify disadvantaged but resourceful individuals, who can start smallscale projects in forms that establish caring and sustainable communities.

 We also believe that the present age of industrialisation and the world order it has created, is closely connected to the energysources that has been fueling the dynamics - a new time thus also is connected to new energy sources - the oilreserves are dwindling, the era of fossile fuels coming to an end. We will not wait for the big oilcompanies to make the change - and stay in control.
 We therefore is very interested in development of renewable energyproduction and usage. Our vision is to help starting projects in this particular area - and in that process promote sustainable development and establish caring communities, where it becomes part of the culture, the way we act and interact, that when a project is running well and start making a earning, it in it's turn helps financing partly cultural and social activities in the local community, partly the upstart of new projects in other communities.

We would like to intiate projects that can catalyse local economic growth & sustainable development by working in partnership with rural populations and local entrepreneurs. We therefore ask for opinions on this subject and and proposals for possible participation in such projects. We expect to work with a high level of networking - bring people and organizations together in sharing the vision, foster cooperation and coordination of their activities.
