More About Me

I'm passionate about

Relationships between social and natural sciences that support us as human beings

An idea worth spreading

Convert developing countries and their educational and research centers in real networks working to achieve sustainable development. This Sustainable development must be through the creation of globals public policies rely on Environmental Leadership and Public Policies Based on Evidence, Science and Technology with focus on education. My idea is build globals consortia for open innovation (networking)for fighting global environmental impact and reach a huge social impact with cultural changes among countries by cooperation. A Example: Environmental Sustainability Educational Centers (ESECs): Greening the Cities. Our main objective is to create Environmental Sustainability Educational Centers (ESECs) for support and complement to student of local school (between 6-18 yrs), teachers, parents focused on environmental education, sustainability, production and consumption sustainable as well as topics on security food. ESECs will allow develop green projects to ccommunitarian level.
