The sites recommended below help to enhance one's awareness and consciousness of crucial issues, whilst providing a sense of empowerment in that they are also channels for action.

Green is not just environmental, not just technological - but also political.

Wherever humanity is oppressed the long term prospects for Green are compromised.

Wherever conflicts are taking place, Green is compromised.

In South Africa we are fortunate in having experienced one of the greatest conflict resolution successes in history.

But we should seek an extrapolation of the South African success to a global "continuous improvement" or 'kaizen' as the Japanese call it ...
