I am trying to link schools across the continents (how big a dream!) and wonder if we can't get the Eco Schools group to do this as well. The members from South America seem really keen on do this - Carolina in particular. If we can get one process started across this network who knows what can happen. Great to have you here. Elna

Share-Net Newsflash – December 2008

Greetings from Share-Net.

This year seems to have raced past and we are almost into 2009!! Our last Share-Net EE Newsflash for the year comes to you filled with lots of good wishes for a blessed and peaceful Christmas and New Year with family and friends.

I have recently returned from a fantastic group-tour programme, co-ordinated and funded by the Japan Foundation.
Fifteen people from seven countries in Africa, South East Asia and South America spent eleven days in Japan sharing their EE and ESD programmes and projects with one another as well as finding out more about ESD happenings in Japan.
A word many of us were introduced to during this Japanese visit was “Mottainai”.
In Japan, mottainai is used in everyday conversation to express the regret when something that could still be used is not, or when something is thrown away or otherwise wasted.
Mottainai is like the English word wasteful, but what makes it different is its suggestion of respect and affection toward nature and the objects around us. International interest in mottainai was initiated by a visit to Japan in 2005 by Professor Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan environmental activist who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004.
When Professor Maathai heard about mottainai, she decided to spread the word to the rest of the world. She felt that this single word expressed the basic concept of the environmental conservation movement "reduce, reuse, recycle" but also included a fourth important element, respect for the earth’s limited resources.
And so, as we head into a brand new year, full of exciting new projects, promises and challenges, let us all consider the resources we use in our daily lives and endeavour to bring ‘mottainai’ to mind.

Green Leaves, a new global environmental network!
Green Leaves was born in ‘Parco Nord Milano’, a small park in Milan, Italy, in response to a desire to follow up on the experience of the 4th World Environmental Education Congress in Durban, South Africa in July 2007. In the words of Massimo Urso, who initiated the network, ‘With Green Leaves we want to talk about environmental education for children, for young people and for ourselves, the adults. With Green Leaves we want to network about daily actions in our schools and our lives and we would like to share these experiences with everybody. Anyone can join Green Leaves and contribute to the site (http://greenleaves.ning.com)"
