Firstly, let us start with our homes, which we built with concrete that fails to comply with the energy of human however, which is our most holly place. We may remove such burden from the roofs of our homes, which we close with tiles, and on which we place load of tons and we may make our roofs green through insulation. One of the most important problems of İstanbul is water. We may get use of rainwaters in this manner and we may contribute to the life of our next generation. Additionally, we may contribute to electricity production by collecting the solar energy by means of collectors. Mission of all of us is finding final solution and increasing our life quality rather than worrying about problems. “ The best way to envisage the future is to direct it properly. “(Willy Brandt). We present ideas by means of our project for roof use in future. Because, the city of future shall live on roofs.

We kindly request you, my Prime Minister of R.T., my Minister of Environment and Urbanism and my Mayor of İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality and Governor of İstanbul, to support us so that we may perform this project. All doors shall open before us in terms of bureaucracy by means of your support and we shall realize a holly mission with your leadership. Our belief that the support that you give shall make difference for our entire country is endless. We expect our government’s support related to our Project. We kindly request you to execute the necessary action.

Gaia Istanbul Swiss Hotel, 20. -21. February 2012, prepared by the Association Nature Friends Green Roofs

During the “international summit for green roofs” in the SWISS Hotel we found the opportunity to introduce our project GAIA GREEN ISTANBUL with a presentation for the greening of the roofs within the frame of cultural capital Istanbul 2010 & partner city Berlin.

We have made it a principle to develop our project further and further so that our country can benefit from it. We have set ourselves the goal to combine our roof projects with the solar energy and conservation of rain water and thus to maximize energy savings.

During this time, in which problems arise and will keep arising due to global warming, the green roofs of Istanbul and communities within the frame of the campaign Green IstanbulROOF PROJECT are greener, more natural and use the advantages of insulation.

But we know that we have to inform the public better about these activities. Daily, human are abusing the nature in an unconscious way and the soil of our country and around the world is ravages by erosion and threatens to disappear. The sooner we turn away from the environmental damage, caused by city life and which is depleting our resources, the better it will be for all of us.

19.3.2008 Trees for Berlin-Babys

GAIA dedicates one tree to the newborn babys of the city. Hence mothers, fathers and their children are invited to come as well. Since both, children and trees, are important for us: They save our future. Thereon the environment project wants to remember. At the same time GAIA tries to motivate for further actions: From now on one tree shall be planted for every single newborn child in Berlin. Due to this, GAIA wants to gain more people for tree plantings. Thus, in the name of our children, the city can be embellished.

Representing the newborn children of Berlin, the 6 months young boy Justus Haase is going to adopt the tree. GAIA plants a limetree, that has a trunk circumference of 20/25 cm. The arboretum “Lorberg” supports this project.

GAIA´s Vision is that all over Europe and even worldwide other cities will be inspired by this idea. GAIA would be delighted to provide its know-how to anyone interested in tree plantings.

Marmaris,07.07.2007, Environment concert in Turkey´s first Green Hotel

The nature protection project “GAIA – Bäume sind cool” (trees are cool) is located, apart from Berlin, in another base: From now on various environment protection projects will also be organised in the Global-Vision-Manolya Hotel in Marmaris, situated at Turkey´s south-west-coast.

Due to the wonderful experience of the first environment concert “Music for Nature”, which took place in Berlin in 2006, among others with the music group Tümata (Dr Oruc Güven), Ilyas Bublis, founder of GAIA, attempts for another performance intensively- this time in Turkey.

That is going to happen in Marmaris at the 7.07.2007, within the frame of the worldwide concerts held on that day (patron is the former US-Vice-President Al Gore). This concert is planned as a non-profit-event, and thus there will be free entrance for everybody. In this way it is possible to reach more people. The musicians will perform without getting any fee.

Immigrant children put down roots in Berlin

Integrative environmental action including a tree planting on the 25th of April 2007 at 11 o´clock in Berlin-Wedding in celebration of the “day of the tree”.

The German-Turkish environmental project “GAIA – Bäume sind cool” sets an example for social integration in the context of environment protection. The educational senator Prof. Zöllner, who is the patron of this event, was present as well as many Immigrants and their children, when the 5 trees were planted. Also attendant have been the senator for health and social policy Ms Dr. Knake-Werner, the turkish consul general Ahmet Alpman, Claudia Roth MdB und Ingrid Müller from the Department of Environment.

Environmentalism connects – human beings with nature, citizens with their neighbourhood, pupils with their school. After long lasting negative reports about Berlin schools, 200 pupils of the Erika-Mann basic school set a positive example for integration and environment protection due to planting young street trees.

Trees provide the environment with clean breathing air. Hence they heighten the quality of living – especially in cities. In addition trees symbolise the social engagement of the citizens, who are multinational in Berlin as in many other cities. This tree planting was celebrated with music from Terra Brasil and supported by the UFA-bakery, who presented cakes and drinks.

Let us not forget, that we are a part of the entirety and that our duty is to save this planet and respect all the plants, animals and inhabitants, who live on earth. Every being has an inherent right to live here!!

2October 23rd 2006 (Bergmannstr. in Kreuzberg) – Planting of a Japanese Tree

CHIEF SEATTLE’S TREATY ORATION 1854
In 1851 Seattle, chief of the Suquamish and other Indian tribes around Washington’s Puget Sound, delivered what is considered to be one of the most beautiful and profound environmental statements ever made.

THIS EARTH IS PRECIOUS
How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?

ALL SACRED
Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. The sap which courses through the trees carries the memories of the red man. The white man’s dead forget the country of their birth when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful earth, for it is the mother of the red man. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony, and man–all belong to the same family.

NOT EASY
So, when the Great Chief in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy land, he asks much of us. The Great Chief sends word he will reserve us a place so that we can live comfortably to ourselves. He will be our father and we will be his children. So we will consider your offer to buy our land. But it will not be easy. For this land is sacred to us. This shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell you land, you must remember that it is sacred, and you must teach your children that it is sacred and that each ghostly reflection in the clear water of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water’s murmur is the voice of my father’s father.

Who harms the earth, ignores also its creator. Our sound world looks like this: Air pollution, ozone hole, nuclear contamination, radioactive waste and poisonous chemistry wastes, fish reserves destroyed, animals for business purposes cruelly tormented and killed, drinking water endangered, poison in food. “We should begin to feel with the head and think with the heart” Thanks to Jaki & Jill, Mr. Kuhnisch, Mr. Lorberg and to all tree friends. This tree is dedicated to my daughter Marlene and to all children of this earth because they are our future.

October 21st 2006 (Bellevue- Tiergarten) – planting of a road-side tree to substitute a sick one

Trees are the most unique impression for power of life. They We are able to feel nature directly – even downtown.
