Green Life Innovators (GLI for short) is a global online community for the design of environmentally sustainable technology through the principles of community driven collective action, using the way communities like the open source movement, Wikipedia etc. work as our role model. GLI is built on the philosophy that the knowledge of clean, green and sustainable technology should be freely available to the whole of humanity.

The organization is rooted in Norway and is registered at the Norwegian Central Coordination Register for Legal Entities, under the organization number 993 163 872 as a non profit, non governmental organization.

It is also the goal of GLI to raise funds to actually build some of the things designed  and  share the practical  knowledge acquired from the building process with humanity for free. We also intend  to test out the building of some of the designs in developing countries using local building traditions, local building materials and local work force.

GLI is not a protest group, like so many other environmental organizations seem to be, but rather a community that seeks to gather people who would like to take part in constructive, creative and collective action for a better and more sustainable future through green technology. Our goal is first and foremost to inspire and thrill, to be a group that would like to teach others through our example, rather than being a group telling others what they should not do.

Our community web site runs on the open source content management system, Tikiwiki, version 2.2.

GLI accepts members from all over the world. As a consequence the pages will be kept in English, with the exception of some of the forums that will be dedicated to discussions in other languages. We also have a blog in Norwegian. Please read our Posting Guidelines for further details about how to participate.

The choice of the names Thunderbird and Firefox is our tribute to the open source software community, not only to the people involved making Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Firefox, but to all people involved in the community driven social production of software that is the Open Source movement.

As with open source software, any member of the community can initiate a new project. Just go to the Projects-page and start a new wiki-page, and a new project is born. The admin will create a new forum for the newborn project when he discovers it. Please send a message to the admin if that does not happen within a few days.
