Ten Photos to Shake the World PHILIPPINES
The challenge of sustainable and inclusive growth is too great for anyone to handle. However, together we can empower each and every one by taking small steps towards sustainable life. Each of us is a witness of localized efforts and innovations: solar bottle bulbs, bicycle powered batteries, furniture and even houses made of old cans and plastic bottles… This inspiration list goes on. Capture these realities and remind us that a sustainable future is within our reach. “It’s not faith in technology, it’s faith in people.” – Steve Jobs
