Why I Founded Green4Green
Hi!
My name is Ian Kaplan, and I'm the founder and general manager of Green4Green. I have built this site because I very much believe that the best way to improve our environment and society is through cooperation, sharing, and information exchange.
I have been involved in regional environmental cooperation projects within academia and the non-proft sector, and am the CEO of a wind energy start-up, and have discovered that regardless of the framework, the best way to achieve your goals is through cooperation.
So, I have built this site to enable anyone and everyone who shares these beliefs, anywhere in the world, to be able to contact one another, communicate, learn, share, and network.
I also very much believe that information exchange and learning should be freely available and easily accessible to all, which is why all features on the Green4Green website are completely free.
I look forward to meeting new people and learning from them, and hope that you will find this site as useful and rewarding as I hope to.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or ideas for how I can make this site even better. It's our community, so let's make the most of it, for ourselves, and our environment.
With best regards to all in the Green4Green environmental community,

As invited I have uploaded a few of my environmental cartoons on my blog space. I´d like this to be viewed by as many people as possible, as I am sure there are many projects and initiatives out there that could benefit from the tremendous message-carrying potential that cartoons can have!
Many thanks for giving us all this great meeting place...
