Green Empowerment partners with rural communities and NGOs in developing countries to improve access to affordable and renewable energy, safe drinking water, sanitation systems, and fuel efficient cook stoves.

Combined with community organizing, these technologies enable individuals and families to dramatically improve their quality of life by reducing disease, improving developmental outcomes, and freeing up time to focus on income generation.

Wisdom of the Elders records and preserves traditional cultural values, oral history, prophesy and other messages of guidance from indigenous elders in order to regenerate the greatness of culture among today’s and future generations of native peoples.

Green Drinks is mostly for people working on environmental issues, but anyone can come -- people from environment groups, business, government, academia and as individuals. There is no "us and them."

Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there.

It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts.

Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network.
