We gather and annotate fully down-loadable papers on our Open Library found in our Resource Center. We encourage you to upload papers and share your resources with others who "leaf" through the library pages looking for articles of interest. Nearly 40,000 documents have been downloaded.
Scores of relevant clean energy and environmental topics are available to anyone in the world. From working plans for bio-digesters to UN policy papers, our vetted materials have been downloaded by thousands of visitors. This library is used by professional practitioners in finance, engineering, environmental science, education, as well as by activists, students, journalists, and researchers.
Increase our efforts: Added professional time will allow us to greatly expand our offerings and include more languages.

The GreenMicrofinance Educational Package™, materials for microfinance, highlights the impact of microenterprises on the environment and how microfinance institutions can develop environmental management systems and clean energy products to mitigate impact and to promote environmentally sound practices and technologies. The educational package will include film, video, and CDs, which will complement print training materials.
The diversity of these materials, in content, language, and format, will enable GMf to reach diverse audiences, from poor and illiterate rural farmers in developing countries, to representatives of central banks, governments, universities, and international policy-making organizations.
