DES VILLES À VIVRE EN AMÉRIQUE?

Les 15 villes de plus de 100 000 habitants les plus accueillantes depuis mon expérience itinérante à travers 18 pays du continent américain.

Mes critères de choix de ces villes parmi les dizaines visitées pendant 3 ans sont : proximité de la Nature, richesse socio-culturelle, solidarité et authenticité des habitants, ouverture d’esprit, alternatives socio-écologiques dans le domaine des transports, énergie, agriculture/alimentation, habitat et économie.

Rainforest Action Network: Environmentalism with teeth

For the first time, we have heard about the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) while talking with an expert dealing with the Corporate Social Responsibility in the USA. The RAN has been developing a unique strategy to influence patterns of production of large companies and make them more responsible. 100% in the target of our project! Even if did not have the opportunity to meet someone working there, we gathered some information about this NGO to share with you.

A l’office du Rainforest Action Network

The RAN is headquartered in San Francisco, California with office staff in Tokyo, Japan, plus thousands of volunteer scientists, teachers, parents, students and other concerned citizens around the world. We believe that a sustainable world can be created in our lifetime, and that aggressive action must be taken immediately to leave a safe and secure world for our children.
