I myself am elected and I try to convince other elected can you send me the document on your action.
thank you in advance.
Hello Francis,
Probably the first actions require publications. I hope that you will receive what you need from the town hall (which I congratulate the entire team in passing Barjac because their actions and those of John Paul Jaud is really the one that best fits our situation: Give the example!).
That said, an action that you can do in the meantime and find or list the producers and traders already in this process to prepare the ground with them. Second action, see if you do not have a Agenda21 in your area, department or community common. This is a major project, heavy but has the merit of entering another way the community.
If you do not enter your town, village and I will do a message to the network of eco-consultants (eras) to see if one of us is in your territory. Then I would put you in line.
Our subject requires to create links. We are not alone. Same people that believe we oppose these sound practices, are also listening and love deep within them that things change. Be as a beacon for them. Do not judge those who pollute today, because they are often caught in the throat. What matters is above all to inform them, show them a way out of the impasse in which they are located.
Before I buy clothes made from organic cotton and hemp, flax grown healthily, I bought like everyone else and I made a mistake. And when I wanted to buy organic cotton shirts, there were none, so I wanted a company that would agree to make ... Ethos replied. And the shirts were made. That's how I do. CreerSansDetruire has many functions, but the main and provide information to raise awareness. This is crucial! To each then take the next step: Be aware and then act. In fact, sustainable development, sustainable and coherent (I am very keen consistency) can be materialized by a staircase with three steps: 1 - awareness; 2-awareness and action 3. In fact, simply, we take a staircase with three steps. But ... BUT ... Make no mistake, we believe that people are aware but it does not link the "facts" and acts of everyday purchases!
In parallel with this to the professionals (the economy, some financial, makers of growth and other nonsense) must also allow them to change direction ... but how about when the loans, debts are there? It is our duty to act for all and to find alternatives to those who are at an impasse today. NEF example allows the bank to consider otherwise. I also invite you to do this because this is important.
Finally, we must think of human health. People who suffer should be helped equally. What is important is to show them there's something else that conventional economics. This is not the dream but to actually show them what is already done and walking (see *).
Here are some elements, I have to congratulate you on your initiative as an elected official because it is here also that the actions are.
Respectfully, Hervé.
