Welcome to Ecoants...
This is a site aimed at improving the world, through dissemination of information about environmental and social issues, and by showing you what simple actions you can take to help make a different. Quite simply, it is called ecoants because if we all take these small actions together then as a whole we can make a huge difference. As individuals and as consumers we have a collective power that goes beyond anything else if we use it effectively.
What we hope to achieve...
- We hope that users of ecoants will learn about some of the most important issues of our day.
- We also aim to provide the necessary resources to help those who care about such issues (hopefully all of you!) to take some form of individual action in order to help improve each problem.
- We can all do something and the more we each do the greater the improvements we can make.
What can I do?
You can read about the environmental and social issues that affect our world today. Then you can get some great eco hints and advice about some of the actions you can take to alleviate some of these problems. We have recently added a brand new site feature called the Go Eco! Guide - fight climate change for a comprehensive list of things you can do to help make the world more sustainable, many of which are very easy and some of which will save you money. You can go eco shopping where you can find out which online shops sell fair trade products or where to find online eco friendly shops. There is lots of advice and information to be found and hopefully you will learn something whilst browsing the site. We hope to introduce an online forum in the coming weeks to enable you to share your views, knowledge and advice about a number of the global issues that affect us today.
Anything else...
Well there is loads of stuff on here that should help you learn a little bit more about various issues, hopefully make you think a little more about different problems, and ideally enthuse and persuade you into taking some actions, for which there are lots of ideas available on this site. This site is an open project, especially considering that new issues are always arising and some old ones become resolved. We hope to create a community here where people can discuss the various challenges that face us and our world both today and in the future. Watch this space! Or rather watch the menu on the left!
