SEED – for a green future

Have you heard of the SEED initiative? It’s a “global partnership for action on sustainable development and the green economy” founded by international organizations UNEP, UNDP and IUCN in 2002. SEED allows small entrepreneurs creating sustainable ideas and green-friendly concepts. With the support of SEED, those entrepreneurs can start producing on a bigger scale, making it possible to reach more people and make a bigger impact.

What’s more, SEED also gives out awards to social and environmental entrepreneurs in countries with developing or emerging economies. So if you have a great idea, you too can submit your project to SEED and could win an award! More on SEED in the next blog entry…
