Agni
Vlavianos Arvanitis
(new B.I.O. publication)
The
purpose of the new B.I.O. publication “Green Salary – Reversing
Unemployment through Environmental Protection” is to raise
awareness of ways of promoting employment that also improves
environmental conditions and curtails global warming, environmental
pollution, loss of biodiversity and resource depletion. The
material presented is a culmination of many years of experience
and research, and aims at mobilizing human resources and enthusiasm
to create a positive outlook in society and to help overcome
environmental destruction and abuse, and the social problems
associated with them. These views have been published extensively
by B.I.O., and have been presented in numerous speeches, lectures
and media events sponsored by the organisation, in the hope
of reaching every individual and stimulating global environmental
thinking and action. This is the first in a series of editions
that are being planned on this subject, with the goal of expanding
considerably in the future. |

Farewell
Slava
Today,
we are all poorer. Humanity has lost Slava, the leader
in music and in the struggle for freedom. The waves
of harmony he created radiated from our planet towards
the universe. Our world was fortunate to have been endowed
with his presence.
I
feel really grateful that Slava honoured me with his
friendship. We cooperated in the Sakharov Festival in
Athens, and in the Bios Prize award to Jacques Cousteau
in Paris, a cooperation culminating in a Bios Prize
to Slava himself, in St.
Petersburg, in 1999. All the friends of B.I.O. believe
his enlightened personality is our valued legacy. We
admired and loved him. He was at the top, yet he never
hesitated to share his experiences with humour. Slava,
you are always with us.
