Green activists, who cut more trees in the world ?
The simple question that you keep
telling people not to cut down more trees. But on the other hands,
you are one of the collaborators in destroying the environment.
Putting aside that you as an non
governmental organisation which does not respect the UNESCO
resolutions 1985 to use Esperanto, perhaps, your organisation does
not deal with UNESCO. I doubt your organisation can be left out in
the UNESCO activities.
It would be good that I copied the
final part of the resolutions to remind you as well as to remind
other NGOs in the world, your leadership did not respect the
resolutions, how would you expect others to respect your calling?
- Recommends that international non-governmental organizations join in celebrating the centenary of Esperanto and consider the possibility of the use of Esperanto as a means for the spreading of all kinds of information among their members, including information on the work of Unesco.

Now, take a look, who cuts
down more tree than the original people.
I list United Nations to be
the first one. Perhaps, other international non governmental
organisations, which use more than one language should be listed in
too. This include the sport organisation like Olympic Council.
There are six official
languages in the United Nations. Each time, the same text, whether
speech or circular, they have to be translated into other five
languages. Let us do some simple mathematics.
If the document is two pages,
2x5=10. Yes, the same topic of document needs to have extra 10 pages
of paper to be used. Do you think United Nations only deal with one
or two topics a day ?
Down the road, how many trees
have to be cut down to produce the paper?
This is not including your
GREEN organisations in the world.
Why blame the common people
when one of the culprits of the environment you can find is standing
tall in front of you and perhaps you are in and out of the building
very often to defend the climate change issues.
If all the related NGOs can
respect the UNESCO resolutions 1985 to use Esperanto, eventually,
other NGOs will be with you and less trees are to be cut down. What
is more, the translation cost can be reduced. The translation cost
can be used to improve the education and health sysetems in most
parts of the world. You are killing two birds with one stone.
Learning Esperanto needs only
less than 200 hours, this small fractions of learning time would also
reduce the using of paper. Certainly, we don't deny the love of those
language lovers, they still can go on to learn the languages they
like. Would you do a survey to see how many people in your local
areas like languages?
Now, look into your path of
contending and head on the right direction.
