ManEco Foundation is established upon the Ecological Manifesto where we state that people should re-think their global situation on Earth and prepare for new ways of living which are more generous, environmentally friendly, sustainable, noble and peaceful.
Manifesto ecologico:
The Ecological Manifesto is a statement through which we express our wish to live in a better world not for us but for the future generations. It is a symbol of unification among the most active leaders and a bridge to the experienced ones. It connects ages and places. The Ecological Manifesto is a realization that humanity cannot continue living as usual and immediately must take action to protect its natural resources and change the consumer habits of society. Peaceful living conditions are not enough anymore for our sustainable future. Even if we live peacefully we will be in war with the natural forces and people who don’t want to accept that there is real danger for the whole humanity. We don't want to see the efforts of the ones who had dedicated their lives working in this direction going in vain. We want a world where there is no poverty, but education for everyone, good living standards and healthy environment. We trust science and urge everyone to join us in avoiding the upcoming ecological catastrophe. Everyone can contribute!
We strongly believe that humanity can change and deal with climate change. But if we want that to happen we should work in all possible ways to keep the global temperatures well below 1.5 degrees Celsius. The ideological framework of the Ecological Manifesto is much in line with the concept of the Deep Ecology Movement of Arne Naess. We appreciate technology and its potential but we prefer to change the morals of the people so that technology can be managed properly and used only to ease our lives and solve problems.
