Hey Greens,
A question for you:
Which topics we can add on our discussion in the Green Forum?
Take some time and think why you are here. How much are you satisfied of the information you get here. Is it there something important that you think we have not discussed yet?
Are you curious about something concrete? Some of you maybe more interested in the theoretical implementation of the sustainable tools in the life or business particularly and others may want more information about the science innovations in the Cleantech industry? Or you would like to read more about featuring organization worldwide, which have successful projects? Maybe you’re still wondering if there are actually green entrepreneurs, successfully implemented their wish for sufficiency not only in their corporations but also for the societal aims? And what is needed to become young entrepreneur in general – more theory or more practice? Or maybe you are more interested in social aspect of Green business? Think about these questions.
We just want to completely satisfy your expectations.
Green Forum is our platform, platform of future green entrepreneurs. So, we decide what to discuss about because we know which are our needs better than anyone.

Hi Elizaveta. You have done a done a great job at bringing together all the things we discuss here at the forum, and also looking for new ideas to explore.
In my suggestion, a good idea would be for the members to share their green practices, like their everyday actions that contribute a lil’ bit to the quest for green. I, for one, always try to save natural resources, like water. I do this by leading through example and encouraging my peers and community to appreciate and conserve nature’s blessings.
TODAY URBEN DEVOLPMENTS PLANS ARE A BIG PROBLEM FOR FOREST AND GREEN AREAS. WE HAVE ALSO TO MAKE OUR FOCUS ON IT. HOW THE URBWN DEVOLPMENT IS GOING TO EFFECT THE GREEN AREAS.
exchange opportunity for young entrepreneurs could be great topic for discussion, cause, in my country most young entrepreneurs don’t think about green business, maybe they can learn and experience from their counterparts
However, I think that topics arounds needs of young entrepreneurs in the workshop should be priority as it’s really important to define them speficically and define strategy for their provision.
It is great to see great minds discussing issues of most relevance to youths. What can I say? There is a strong need to involve youths from developing countries so that we can share and learn from you people. Reading through the posts, it was hard for me to find a contribution from African youths, I feel esteemed to come out and say something. We need to be involved that the other party of the world of youths may be made known to all participants. I expect to speak a great deal about African youths.
Great to have topics that addresses the present and the future need of young people.
Hallo Elizaveta,
Thanks so much for writing me. I got your mail while I was in Lesotho with limited internet connectivity. I am sorry for not replying earlier.
You have asked so many questions I am racking my brain silly to answer may be 1 or 2. You are right, this is our forum and the business of a green world is ours.
Coming from a developing country, I would love to see tangible initiatives aimed at promoting biodiversity, combatting deforestation and encouraging the greening of landscapes. Tapping of Solar Energy for use by the poor also catches my attention.
One other important issue I am passionate about is the effect of non-biodegradable products on the environment. Plastic packages choke up the soil, ’suffocate’ soil microbes, make it unfavourable for crop growth, breeding ground for pests like mosquitoes and make the environment unsanitary. I am always for recycling, not as perfect as the Germans but basic recycling.
I would love to see organizations in action and have the chance of volunteering or having internship with them. Theory or practice, I think green enterpreneurs need 20% theory and 80% practice. It should be learning by doing. Learn on the job. Experience is the best teacher.
Hope to hear from you soon. Hope we see in Brussels.
Have a green November.

Hei, Elizaveta, great post! As the GEF Team has been thinking over it outcomes, it came to the conclusion that one of the best ways to have a real action is by having first a representative opinion of our community members. It is very important for all of us to be able to have the answers of the questions, you managed to determine as our needs, and that’s why we decided to create our Poll-action! Our Polls are the next step in our dialogue and knowledge sharing. The more people answer it, the closer we are to the possibility to do the change, to build our Roadmap and to catalyze initiatives, connected with the needs of the young people.
So, I appeal to all of you, to answer to the Polls and resend it to your friends and family, and to give your suggestions for future questions as well.
WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK
SO! Let’s aim to have as maximum answers as possible!
