Birthing Sustainable eMotions in Paris



Where they say babies come from …

And so, once upon a time Sharon & Mun met for the first time at a place we decided to so-call "Hotel California" in the southern Chilean location of Pucón.

Tucked by the fireplace, sharing stories about worldwide experiences, we couldn't managed to gather the courage to leave this wonderful little hostel .. and so, we kept on delaying our departure, day after day, while wandering the streets of the Mapuche’s little town in the company of our adopted stray dog (Sharon named after "Perro"), or even attempting to climb up and snowboard down the live volcano Villarica.

Some years after, a few encounters in between and many stories told, last night a dirty diaper smelly hotel room at the Montmatre district and a common project gathered us together again in Paris.

Sustainable eMotions was born today at the Rive Gauche of the Seine River with the mission to become both a Home and a Think Tank where people could engage to learn and debate about a broad scope of issues related to sustainability: living, eating, farming, producing energy, reducing waste, travelling, relating to others.

As the community builders of this amazing project, Sharon and I decided that we’re basically story tellers, passionate people psyched about sharing our knowledge and emotions about what sustainable living can spread into … but we can't do it without you, as sustainability is also sharing and learning from each other.

We want our cozy home to be a place to give way to a mass explosion of ideas, thoughts and possibilities, the chance to get a lot of people engaged to believe in a common dream …That’s it: To change the world one blog at a time!

We utterly think this is a fascinating idea and we both know that, together, we could do it, specially if like we said, we can count on you.

So, hold on there, we’re seriously working on it and soon enough, you’ll hear more from us … airing possibly by then from our Sustainable eMotions brand new blog.

In the meantime, feel free to contact us in order to become yourself a community contributor. You’re very welcome as this is definitely a global an open project to anyone interested in it. We want people with ideas, no matter how wild, courage to live and willing to work hard and to give a little bit of his/her precious time to help us make this a better world for all – especially for those less fortunate than most of you reading this now.

We can’t wait to hear from you!!

Don’t refrain fom sustaining your emotions, just let us know about them!!

Sharon & Mun
