ECOWEEK
is a non profit non governmental organization with the mission to raise awareness,
inform and guide people in making choices that are more friendly to the environment,
conserve energy and natural resources, thus not contributing to the augmenting
problem of global warming. We believe that by changing habits we can change
the climate.
ECOWEEK was first organized on the island of Aegina, Greece in 2005. Today
ECOWEEK is active in Europe and the Middle East, running programs and activity
around three main themes: waste recycling and reduction, household organic
waste composting, energy conservation and renewable energy use, and ecological
building.
Since 2009 ECOWEEK has been running programs for young professionals - primarily
architects, landscape architects, designers and engineers - around issues
of sustainability, 'green' design, social and environmental entrepreneurship,
and innovation.
