 Recently I was asked the following question: "How come GreenOffOn encompasses such vendors as a dance studio, photo and video company, crowdfunding site (which specializes in raising funds for women oriented projects) and other vendors seemingly far from eco-oriented businesses?"
I met this question with my own: What kind of criteria should be to determine who can and cannot be part of the eco social community?
Well, – I heard an answer. – Maybe the criteria should be using in their practice ecologically safe and sound materials?
Of course- I answered, – Material factor is important. What about non-material criteria? A famous Russian writer from the first half of the 20th century Michael Bulgakov noted through his fictional character in the novel "A Dog's heart": "... devastation not in the closets, but in the heads". If a dance studio gives a child a feeling for beauty and movement, and in turn assists the adult in being organized, healthy and happy? And if this process does not destroy nature ,wouldn't they be qualified to be part of an eco community?
- Oh, – they answered, – yes, then they should be part of an Eco Social Community.
- What if a video studio helps an Eco Community in creation of video material to help spread the word, elevate the eco consciousness and popularize eco-social values, wouldn't they be worthy of being a member of an Eco Social Community?
Of course, – they answered. – Now we understand! The idea behind GreenOffOn is much wider than we originally thought. This is a uniting platform for al people and organizations who believe in ecological and socially responsible values. Great!
Agap? Gardens: “The dance studio, the video company and other vendors of GreenOffOn are striving to introduce ecological practices in their businesses as soon as they become available to them. By being members of Eco Social Community together with other members they learn tools and ways of helping our world to be a little greener. That is why our slogan is: Green you, Green me – in Unity! United in our values, we have a strong change of creating a tipping point and creating a different material world, based on values of an Eco Social Community. It takes time to get there, and our thoughts today will create a material world tomorrow!”
