When everything turns white
And longer is the night
The year is coming to an end
We think of how great was it spent

Full of action and your passion
Was this year for YEE
Thank you all for contribution
Lets keep on saving every tree

The time has come to take some rest
The office wishes all the best!

Dear member organisations,

many of you already used the opportunity to spread information through our newsletter.

On our webpage we got a new section called "Members News". It is easy to find and also might be read by people who visit our site but don't receive the newsletter.

So take the chance and publish your news. It can be a report of a project, a call for partners, an interesting story, an article on environmental problems...

We have already put some articles there, so check it out!

YEE new publication 'The Environmentalist's Guide to the MEDIA Galaxy' has been released.

The booklet helps you to be heard in the media and among the public. Learn about the possibilities of social media, how to write press releases and how to get them into the newspapers. If you wish to achieve a positive environmental change, the booklet will help you to prepare campaigns. You can also use community-based social marketing, a few simple steps designed especially to support a sustainable behaviour. Learn more about critical thinking to develop your argumentation skills and to improve your ability to recognise manipulation.

Communication is the most powerful tool we have, so let's use it efficiently!

'The Environmentalist's Guide to the MEDIA Galaxy'

The publication is a follow-up project to the training course 'Media, Communication & Nature' that took place in July 2012 in the Czech Republic.

The YEE office recently went on an expedition 35km north of our comfortable office. We arrived at our destination, the misty and beautiful hill-town of Mělník and a 50-minute bus ride away from Prague.

Situated at the confluence of the Labbe and Vltava rivers, Mělník offered us the perfect scope for our water testing activities, allowing us to take samples from two major bodies of water in one day.

Mělník has historically made its money through the rich surrounding farmland, having been founded by a Slavic tribe called the "Pšovans".
