Welcome to Green New World.
It is becoming ever more apparent that we must change our lifestyles to preserve the beauty and richness of our home we all share Planet Earth. It is time that individuals, communities, corporations and governments take more deliberate actions to minimize the environmental burden on our planet ensuring a space for our children and generations to come.
Our Mission is to create sustainability centers in regions with great socio-ecological
need. Our programs are dedicated to promote sustainable lifestyles and improve ecological conditions by the implementation of a multifaceted integrative strategy consisting of four modules serving to inspire, teach and assist individuals, businesses and communities to live in balance with nature. Living by example is our credo. Be the change to see the change...
Sustainable Living - Demonstration Community The core module consists of the demonstration community with 15-20 members, who organize all other local activites. The community integrates technologies and procedures that focus on five aspects of sustainability: housing, energy, water, food and waste. This will form the basis of an environmentally friendly lifestyle with a carbon neutral footprint.
Sutainable Aid - Eco-Projects The second module consists of eco-projects that are implemented in the activity region. The type of projects that Green New World implements are dependent on the need of the activity region. In our first activity region at Lake Atitlan, our eco-projects are directed to reducing the nutrient and pollution input of the lake consisting of the construction of greywater treatment systems, the expansion of wetlands, facilitating sustainable farming and the distribution of biodegradable bags, soaps and detergents.
Sustainable Learning - Education Center The third module consists of a sustainable learning center which provides workshops and apprenticeships on sustainable solutions in ecological building, renewable energy systems, sustainable water management, sustainable farming and ecological waste management. Emphasis is given to the technologies and procedures which are utilized in the demonstration community.
Sustainable Funding - Eco-Tourism The fourth module serves for the purpose of generating revenue for the other modules so that Green New World's efforts are overall both ecologically and economically sustainable. For the first Project at Lake Atitlan we will create an Eco-Tourism lodge that will provide guests with a sustainable living experience based on the principles of the demonstration community.
