This site is made on several assumptions:
  • There is an environmental and social emergency.
  • No one is perfect and together we go further.
Thus, in order to move forward an environmental or social cause, we produce documents under free license to benefit as many people as possible. They can be used by others in whole or in part, be translated, distributed...
In order not to reinvent the wheel, we seek professionals in the various fields covered.
