[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> ecology and the Internet |
I am still working on that paper I have been assigned on the Internet and Virtual Communities functioning as a public sphere of civic reinforcement and mobilization. I have gathered a number of successful examples - which I will publish at nettime when the paper is complete. However, I was wondering if any of you netizens could inform me on any environment-oriented (ecological) initiatives effectuated through the Internet. It is a topic of great interest and I would like to present a case-study of this type to my audience. katerina diamandaki-panou ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kalina Bunevska" <kalina@scca.org.mk> To: <nettime-l@bbs.thing.net> Sent: &Dgr;&egr;&ugr;&tgr;&eacgr;&rgr;&agr;, 19 &Mgr;&agr;&rgr;&tgr;&iacgr;&ogr;&ugr; 2001 2:06 &mgr;&mgr; Subject: <nettime> APPEAL FOR PEACE > > > Skopje > March 16, 2001 > APPEAL FOR PEACE > > from the representatives of non-government organizations > in the Republic of Macedonia > > For the sake of protection of the fundamental principles in a civil society and its future development > in the democratic process, we express our concerns and condemn the > recent aggression that has seriously jeopardized the security of the > country. > > We strongly condemn all acts of violence and the call for inter-ethnic intolerance.
