From bamboo bikes to biomass briquettes: UNEP unveils SEED Award Winners

URI’s ten year anniversary year, 2010, is moving into its last quarter. We have acquired authority and humility in our ten years of growth. We have embraced grassroots leadership, friendship, sharing the sacred, local leadership that meets local need, and we have nurtured a new reality where religious differences become a source of respect and mutual cooperation. I would like to share URI’s Key Accomplishments from my perspective. If you have more please add your comment .
