ENVIRONMENTAL ROTARIAN ACTION GROUPS
Forming Rotarian Action Groups in 10 areas of the Environment and Sustainable
Development
The Environment Fellowship of Rotarians now facilitates the creation Rotarian
Action Groups (RAGs) in 10 major fields/areas of the Environment. To achieve
this, it does encourage Rotarians to take the initiative by indicating
their interest to kappenberger@gmail.com,
puts them in contact with each-other, and offers them as much information
and support as possible.
Aware of the interdependence of all areas of the environment, and because
a RAG on water & sanitation does already exist, while knowing that
a RAG on sustainable tourism is already in preparation, the Environment
Fellowship of Rotarians encourages all Rotarians interested in participating
in forming environmental Rotarian Action Groups (RAGs) within any of the
following 10 main areas of interests, to contact the Chair of the Environment
Fellowship, Marco Kappenberger, at kappenberger@gmail.com
Whenever possible in cooperation with Rotary Clubs, Rotarian Action Groups
conduct international service projects in particular areas of service
that enhance the Object of Rotary.
Please do let us know which of the following areas or related subjects
you are most interested in, and we'll put you in contact with the other
Rotarians with the same interests.
The proposed 10 areas of interest in which Rotarian Action Groups are
being formed are:
- RAG Agriculture ( Organic Gardering, Food Production, Composting, etc.)
- RAG Built Environment ( Bioarchitecture, Feng-Shui, Materials Indoor,
Green Builders using also Straw Bales, Materials Indoor, etc.)
- RAG Education ( Environmental-, Consulting, etc.)
- RAG Energy (Alternative-, Renewable Energies, etc.)

In any of the above-mentioned 10 areas of interest, the Environmental
Fellowship of Rotarians will bring together all Rotarians interested in
forming Rotarian Action Groups for a better environment and sustainable
development.
Besides adapting their names, you are naturally welcome to form and propose
to RI the Rotarian Action Groups of your choice.
All of these environmental activities of these soon-to-be-formed Rotarian
Action Groups will greatly serve humankind with projects, supported also
by The Rotary Foundation, where the need is greatest, but they will also
generate employment, stimulate investment in infrastructure and finally
have a long-range beneficial effect especially also on the local quality
of life and economy.
