Santa Krastina, executive director LAPAS multi-stakeholder forum 7th of May, 2015

In the race of progress dictated by the technocratic mind, Homo sapiens have come to a point when their actions and technologies have irreversibly wasted the Earth’s natural resources. We are in the epicenter of global warming and at the foot of the ever growing mountains of waste. In order to survive we have to grow into Homo ecos or the Ecological Man. Homo ecos – it is the future society, which does not lavish the Earth’s resources, instead it is a society that knows both how to use these resources mindfully and preserve them for the next generations.

We want to create a world, where environment does not need protection.

homo ecos: aims Strengthening and increasing a social movement with its members: supporting the green ideas open to improve their daily habits to lead an environmentally and human friendly lifestyle.

homo ecos: SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE VALUES sustainability, cooperation, quality, passion COMMUNICATION

homo ecos: fields of action Informing website, social networks exhibition, movies radio broadcast Educating homo ecos: Green Floor Involving, inspire and encourage society creative workshops volunteers in action social campaigns experiments

homo ecos: since Latvia – the greenest country in the world? 2010 Examples of actions radio broadcast homo ecos: 2015

Campaign “Sustainable food consumption”

Movie month (~100 places) (“The economics of happiness”) Exhibition “Pārtikas neredzamā puse” (“The other side of food”) Experiment and challenge Communication Disscusions with the society
