What problem are you solving?:

In SLO only few NGO from Ljubljana participate in process of sustainable development. Yet the support to civil society located in other regions in Slovenia does not achieve basic standards of civil society being in the proces of decision making about environment and nature. That is evident in low cooperation and contribution to the solutions of local environmental NGO and individuals to local environmental issues. Regional and local NGOs are ignored in the process of decision making. Only organizations from Ljubljana and its surrounding are able to influence decision making process, although they do not have direct contacts with local residents and local nature and environment.
So other parts and regions of Slovenia must actively follow global environmental changes and gain an opportunity to participate in decision making process that would contribute to preservation of our nature and environment.

Describe your idea:

The idea is to connect all environmental NGOs, local initiatives and other interested individuals in one virtual place that would not be focused only to Ljubljana region but to the whole Slovenia
This site would be a tool:
– To create proposals and actions for solving of environmental issues
– For cooperation and contribution in preparation of environmental strategies and policy at all regions of Slovenia
– To communicate with general population, local authorities, ministry and government and mass media
– To rise awareness of importance of participation and finally to rise environmental awareness, which is now days so important.

What country will this operate in?: Slovenia

Who are you?:

Well, I am a very ‘green’ person trying to make a difference in my home town and its surroundings. I am highly aware of environmental challenges we are all facing and I am sure that only together we can contribute and make something good for other people end environment we are living in. I am an active member of a local environmental organization. I have also established a non-profit organization FuturaNatura, with a main reason to raise ecological awareness of people, believing that little actions (like turning off the light) can bring a positive input to the environment.
I believe that everybody should have an opportunity to participate and to be heard. With that reason I am asking you kindly to help me/us set up this page.
