Happy New Year.
In 2012 Practical Action will help more than a million poor people around the world, we will help people get the vital technology they need, we will work together with them to ensure solutions are sustainable and we will share stories and the experience from our work as widely as possible so that people can copy everything we do.
Not a New Years resolution but our proven way of working.
Have you seen the Victoria Wood voiced over advert for the Dyson vacuum cleaner ‘protected by over 200 patents’ thats exactly the opposite of our work. We don’t want to keep ideas to ourselves but share so more people can benefit.
2012 is the UN Year of Sustainable Energy for All. We need to share ideas and experience if we are to deliver energy to the nearly 3 billion people without decent access.
