Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.

The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.

Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the true nature of who we are.

Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems and create new options.

Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN. We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Editorial

Renewable energy is now widely accepted as playing a key part in our future. It feels as if there has been a significant shift in attitudes, both to the solutions and the challenges it brings.

We have changed the format of the events listings in this issue of GVNR to show the scale of what is happening around the world. Already 1000’s of solar systems, wind farms, photovoltaic systems and biogas plants are producing renewable energy on a massive scale. Major exhibitions are being held throughout the world, revealing the emergence of new technologies that look on course to eventually replace the old.

Equally important, are the small scale technologies, as rewarded by the Ashden Awards. Their achievements show that no matter how small we may be as individuals, we can all make a difference in our way.

Do you have a story about a creative solutions that is happening in your country or your area? Or do you have something that you would like to share about an inspiring initiative. If so, do email us at gvnr@positivenews.org.uk to tell us about it. We may be able to share it with others in the next issue of GVNR.
