| Since
our establishment in South Africa in December 2000,
GAIA has steadily grown, attracting more participants
worldwide and providing “the link |
|
| between
the globalizing world trade system in incinerators and
the community people that suffer from this trade”(Bobby
Peek, groundWork). |
Currently, we have over 300 member groups and individuals
from more than 60 countries. GAIA Global Meeting 2003
hopes to further strengthen the global coalition against
unsustainable production, materials use and waste disposal
and for sustainable, healthy and socially just alternatives.
The Meeting will serve as a unique platform to: |
|
• Share and celebrate members’ practical
experiences on fighting incinerators and other back-end
waste disposal practices and their efforts to promote
alternatives.
• Discuss and
develop strategies to strengthen and advance GAIA’s
mission at the local, regional and global levels.
