Introduction
In a world where mass corporations attempt to monopolize the world for the greater good of market profits and the slave labor of their employees, most notably in the form of sweatshops, the outlook of the world's natural resources and it's ability to sustain the human race for future generations seems grim. Most notably grim, however, is the state of the energy consumption of the world. With many of the thousands of nations in the world not being a member of the World Assembly, many of the laws and bills that have been passed in said legislature may not have been put into effect in their countries.
The state of the world's energy is less than ideal. The fact of the matter is this: we don't need to burn fossil fuels or other energy producing items that harm the world's atmosphere. Hydrogen, biomass, and even nuclear power are extremely dangerous to the world (especially due to the repealment of GAR#204 by GAR#212) and only exist to perpetuate the need for corporate profit in the long-term. The world can be powered by clean energy means entirely, whether they be solar power, wind turbines, or tidal sources.
If solar energy were to be properly instituted in government energy facilities, the possibility of powering the world - through solar energy alone - is endless. One hour of solar energy at high noon contains more than enough energy to power billions of people with nothing more than the light from the sun. The same can be said for wind energy derived from wind turbines; many advocates against the utilization cite the fact that wind turbines are considered to be weak, and due to be location-driven, impractical. This speculation, simply, is not true.
A recent study done by the Aquitaynian Center for Renewable Energy (ACRE) found that if properly utilized, placing wind turbines in only four of Aquitayne's 35 provinces could power the entire country, utilizing data found on wind pattern maps.
Not only this, but there are multiple other forms of green energy that are capable of being utilized to their fullest extent, and yet many nations choose not to use them, but rather privatize energy companies and allow them to monopolize the Earth's natural resources for their own company's profits, leaving future generations the problem that we have created for them. The Green Initiative For Tomorrow aims to bring in any and all countries and corporations willing to "Go Green", in an effort to save our planet's natural resources and its natural beauty.
GIFT's Goal
GIFT aims to allow nations who don't wish to be a member nation of the World Assembly a safe route out of that option for following green energy guidelines. We understand that many nation's dislike the World Assembly, and often simply do the opposite of new resolutions to spite them; our goal isn't to spite the World Assembly, but to allow non-member nations the ability to control their natural resources and granting them the knowledge to utilize those resources for the benefit of their people.
Our Pledge, the guidelines that any member nation or corporation willing to apply themselves to the GIFT corporation will follow, aims to allow developing countries that might not have the resources and technology to develop safe energy habits to do so. GIFT aims to assist any country in need of help in turning their energy production system into that of a clean, efficient, well managed system. GIFT leads this forefront with already having done so in multiple nations within the Union of Epic Nations.
GIFT is a non-profit international alliance that's main goal is simply to see the world run it's power supply through means of clean energy, rather than that of coal, nuclear power, hydrogen and biomass. Mother nature intended for us to utilize the Earth's resources to better ourselves, so why are we destroying her creations and only limiting our ability to advance?

I would like a grant from GIFT
GIFT is more than willing to loan funds and assistance to countries or corporations who aim to turn their energy sources green, but simply can't afford to do so by themselves. GIFT prides itself in giving away wind turbines, solar panels and other equipment to developing countries so that they may have the necessary power supply to develop fully, while not increasing damage to the world by doing so. If you would like a grant from GIFT, simply fill out the application below.
