Who is behind ECFD?

Only people and places! That's all. And oh yes, a bit of technology, thanks to the World Wide Web. And volunteers all over the place. There are a few people and groups serving as coordinators, but they are, to be truthful, only a minor part of the total landscape. It is the message (sustainable transportation and social justice) and the medium (WWW and the culture that goes with it) that are important now. As the good expression goes: "the nose of the camel is under the tent".

Throguhout this site you will be able to see and learn about the kinds of people and groups from all over the world who are getting together to make their ideas and energy felt this year: cities, bike and walk groups, mayors, sustainable transportation advocates, disabled activists, national environment agencies, teachers, students, children, local business groups, city planners, conservation associations, pedestrian rights associations, museums, churches and other religious groups, human and minority rights groups, clean air campaigners, families, individual citizens ready to take a stand, and... and... you?

Advocates

In addition to all of the above, we are being joined by a steadily growing number of outstanding individual Team Leaders and Sustainability Advocates who are stepping forward to indicate that they share our concerns, feel that the citizen-based "trickle-up" approach has a contribution to make. Many of these fine people are coming in and giving a hand with developing and assisting project ideas in a spheric region, country, city, or action approach. Think of them if you wish as informal ambassadors in the cause of sustainable cities and social justice.
