In a speech to graduate students Gore said "What is needed today is a 'global Marshall Plan' to save the world's environment and give billions of dispossessed people the tools needed to participate in the marketplace in a rational way. [...] Remember that right is still right even if nobody is doing it. Wrong is still wrong even if everybody is doing it. These values have to be integrated. It is not too extreme to say our survival depends on it. Be the change you want to see in the world."

It is done. In due time for Christmas the book "Hoffnung Europa" (320 pages) is released. After intensive work on the different articles, the title "Hoffnung Europa – Strategie des Miteinander" was finally chosen as fitting best the contents of the book. The book´s cover is decorated with the EU´s typical symbols of yellows stars against a blue background. Thanks to all who gave their feedback on the cover design very spontaneously - your feedback was well taken into account. The book could not have been realized without the support of all those volunteering to help us with translations, lectorship, ideas and drafts for the cover etc. In total, more than three dozen people were involved in the project - besides the 40 authors. We would like to thank you all for the terrific support and the good cooperation. We are already looking forward to the next time...

Peter Spiegel presented the Global Marshall Plan Initiative at the autumn meeting of the "Bund Ökologische Lebensmittelwirtschaft" (BÖLW - Federation of organic food industries) in Berlin. The conclusion drawn after the meeting is that ecology and social balance are not a luxury but a necessity for an working economy. In the BÖLW's press release, the Global Marshall Plan is mentioned as a remedy.
