[Sdpg] [permaculture] Nobel Prize in Sustainable Development

[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

1.      Nobel Prize in Sustainable Development
We would like to ask your support for a request to install a Nobel Prize 
for Sustainable Development. Citizens, scientists and parliamentarians have 
started a joint initiative in order to recognize the important issue of 
sustainability with an important prize. Up to now, individuals and 
organizations from over 85 countries have signed the initiative, among 
others WWF International, IUCN Int.,former Ministers of states, and many 
members of Parliament.

In May 2003 the petition will be presented to the Nobel Committee in 
Sweden. In order to have the biggest chance of success, we still need all 
the support possible. You can give your support by simply signing the 
petition on www.sustainable-prize.net  If you have done so,please state 
your name and country of origin under this email and forward it to all 
people you know that might be in favor of this initiative(note: please 
remove any forward markings >>). We hope to spread the word globally for a 
better chance of recognizing Sustainable Development as one of the most 
important issues of our times.

With the greatest respect on behalf of all the initiators,

Boris van der Ham,
Member of Parliament, The Netherlands
