                             Sustainable Life Foundation (SLF)

 

I wish to create an organisation which will work internationally. The SLF will aim at creating general awareness among the people and promote research and development in sustainable technologies. The target group will be school children, youth and the researchers

The sustainable technologies are those which ensure healthy and long term development of mankind on the earth, through  development and use of such technologies that minimise the emission of pollutants and green house gases (GHG) and minimise exploitation of non-renewable natural resources

Initailly a group of people with identical thinking will be created. Later a Society or a Trust will be formed and duly registered as per the law of the land

I invite people to:

(a) share their thoughts

(b) confirm whether they are interested donating funds for the cause

What is the solution?

  • I Can Make That

    Growing up, my family only bought what we could not make ourselves. Mother made all of our meals from scratch, even while we were on the road. She sewed curtains, crocheted blankets, even made soap by melting down all of our soap scraps. My father had a wood shop in our garage and knew how to use it. He would produce coat racks, toy chests, shelves, desks and other furniture as needed.
