Their
importance
When you consider this kind of large scale
project, the search for financial support is constant. However, a
partner, even financial, is much more than someone that tosses money.
In our case, it is someone who deeply believes in our environmental
ideal. One of the reasons we did not just gather our savings is that we
want to rally as much people as possible around the project.
The more people we’ll get involved
in the adventure, the better are the chances of action and changes.
