About Green Sphere
Green Sphere Inc. is a 501(c)(3), community based organization (CBO), intended to assist organizations and individuals with education on environmental issues through cultural events, the media, and grass roots hands on projects.Green Sphere was founded in 1987 as a means by which individuals could become directly involved, making their views known about a variety of environmental issues ranging from such issues as sources of renewable energy and population concerns, to food irradiation and stricter pollution laws. It was determined that the best method by which to accomplish this was through the proactive use of the media as an educational tool. Through a variety of broadcast programs, and cultural presentations, the public would learn the details of critical environmental issues.
Green Sphere, Inc. was incorporated in 1988 with the help of Columbia University's Law Clinic. The organization's main objective is to educate the general public and get them to act more socially responsible in protecting the environment. As noted in a letter by Vice President Al Gore, Green Sphere’s interactive Town Meeting’s involved citizens in the debates during the U.N.’s Earth Summit process which had a direct impact on minimizing the Bush (George H. Bush) administration’s negative influence on the Summit. Through interactive use of the media Green Sphere is helping to give a voice to the other global super power: world opinion. Green Sphere is dedicated to helping create a true democracy in the world.
