Let's get closer to the Green Mission
OUR PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY AND MITIGATING THE IMPACTS OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS

Cooperation and education: We bring individuals, communities and organisations together in a common effort to share knowledge and experience.
-
Active community participation: We support local initiatives and involve people in actively contributing to a better future.
