SY future plan: a global community of purpose..join us actively

Dear all,
Thanks for showing interest to be with us at Sustainable Youth Community. as you know, Sustainable Youth is promoting Green Lifestyle among youth and trying to contribute towards Sustainable Development. This is not a NGO rather a Global Community or Greater Family solely based on interest to create a futuristic eco-friendly society with innovative alternatives. To extend the existence of human beings on Earth.

Sustainable Lifestyle does not only mean using eco-friendly products, it's about a healthy lifestyle that is going to fit into our future. In brief within current and future economic set up nuclear families are coming under enormous mental/economic pressures to cope up with various needs and expenditures. Many such families are even broken up in divorce. In this situation, community life is the only way out.
Community like Sustainable Youth will provide services like: medical insurance, legal and financial guidance, logistics transfer, recreation tour etc. Even your children can be looked after by other community members who gets time. However, we need to follow practical steps with enthusiasm to build this dream community.
