OTWO Magazine January 2020 | Page 80

When we embarked on this wonderful and exciting journey, we knew it would be a challenge to esta- blish a platform that represented properly the cause and provided easy everyday actions that we could encourage people to take. We knew that this area of the world is privileged in every way. Our climate is mild and the geography is of spectacular beauty and variety. This is a well known fact, but we were not ready for the incredi- ble variety of choices that are available to each and every one of us to help save this planet of ours. Here, virtually at our doorstep. This Magazine has become a reference point. A manual for a more healthy and responsible way of life, one that acknowledges we simply cannot carry on the way we were going. The number and quality of our contributors is astounding when you consider how young this ma- gazine is. This is growing exponentially and we will obviously nurture that interest and work tirelessly to ensure the platform develops and does justice to their efforts. It is clear though that the scope of the possible is amazing and that we could do so much more in so many areas – personal health, travel, leisure, edu- cational, gastronomy, heritage to name but a few. The problem is that space in the magazine is limited OTWO 06 / JANUARY 2020 even though it is one of the largest magazine for- mats available in Gibraltar. Soon we will announce several locations in Gi- braltar where we shall organize a series of events over the period of a week in which we shall bring to you the best offers available in all these areas. Encouraged by the total conviction of everyone we have come across in our travels and locally, we have decided to embark on the launch of an annual event which we intend to call Green Week Gibraltar. We are already in touch with many local organi- zations to make this event a true milestone in brin- ging to our society choices for a better way of life. A more balanced and sustainable lifestyle that will reward future generations with better chances and opportunities. Gibraltar is a business and creative powerhouse, we often prove ourselves capable of meeting cha- llenges way beyond what would normally be expec- ted from a country of our size. With Green Week Gibraltar we intend to place our country at the forefront of this challenge. Already excited by the response received, we cannot wait to share more details of this important and unique event. If you are excited by the idea and wish to involve yourself, do not hesitate to contact us. 79
