Give Sustainable Independence to the Children of Uganda
After facing decades of conflict and internal displacement perpetuated by a brutal rebel army, the people of northern Uganda are eager to return to peace and stability. Those returning to areas hit hard by conflict face the new obstacle of rebuilding entire homes, schools, and water and sanitation systems.

Watamu Community and Marine Park Solid Waste Management Project
The Malindi and Watamu Marine Parks and Reserves were designated as Kenya’s first marine protected area in 1968 and later as part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1979. Watamu Marine Park covers 10 km2. The overall Park and Reserve area amounts to approximately 30km of coastline, with a fringing coral reef along its entirety. The Project area will cover approximately 8km of Marine Park and Reserve beaches as well as the immediate environs adjacent to the beaches.
Help Vicki, Help Frogs
My cause is frog conservation. I developed an apparatus that assists frogs during their metamorphosis from egg to adult that I call the Pollywoggery. I successfully raise Pacific tree frogs in an urban environment and they return to the Pollywoggery to breed year after year. I and Great Wilderness (a California based nonprofit)plan to conduct research on the efficacy of the Pollywoggery at the La Hesperia Biological Reserve in a cloud forest in the Andes of Ecuador. I need help in the form of money and volunteers to conduct this research.

Green Village = Green Future
There is an old African saying: Haba na haba, huijaza kibaba - little by little, all things are possible For me, the Carbon14 Environmental Award could be the difference between what is imminently possible and what is virtually impossible. As an educator, I spent several years traveling to and from Tanzania, in East Africa, working with local schools to improve teaching and learning.
Bringing Biogas to Bhutan
In the spring of 2008, I travelled to a remote part of Bhutan, a small developing country nestled in the Himalayas between India and China, as part of my work for the Tarayana Foundation. Nagor, one of the villages I visited, is a small farming community perched at the top of a mountain and a 3 day hike from the nearest motor road. A few years before, a company had proposed to undertake a biogas program in the area, but never fulfilled its promise. Therefore, with the help of the foundation I constructed a pilot biogas plant in Nagor to introduce the technology to the region. The C-14 grant would go a long way to bringing biogas to Bhutan and would substantially benefit the remote and poorest regions of the country.
GREEN WATERHUT
To me life is not worth living if nothing is done immediately for safeguarding the image of water resources and our environment. Why do I say that? We can not prevent poor people from destroying the environment or rich industries from polluting the environment if there are no alternatives to satisfy the needs of these people and protecting the environment.
From Miserable to Sustinable
From Measurable to Sustainable
When I was a young boy, living in a remote village in faraway western Nepal, I remember how my eyes would always burn and the dry, hacking cough I and my five siblings suffered from, resulting in my older sister Kalpana getting tuberculosis.
Smallholders Farmers Rural Radio - " education to protect and restore natural system that sustains life"
Nigeria’s greatest biodiversity wealth is found in rural poor communities. However, 70% of Nigeria’s 150 million people are rural dwellers but has been denied access to priority natural resources management information due to the collapse in agricultural extension services, the unreliable power supply system and lack of infrastructure to support rural internet penetration. This continuous inaccessibility to critical information has exacerbated environmental degradation, deepened rural poverty and accelerated food insecurity.

Engineers Without Borders Clean Water Project in Yoro, Honduras
2.5 billion people in the world do not have access to adequate sanitation; this is almost two fifths of the world's population. Water is a necessity, taken for granted in the United States, but in the rural village of El Convento, Honduras, clean water is not easily accessible. The water source currently available for the community is a polluted stream trickling through the small village of 45 families. Water in El Convento is extremely poor quality and contains chemical contaminants and microorganisms that cause frequent sickness.
