Unprecedented wind turbine parks of private interest are about to be constructed on several Aegean islands against the will of the islanders. This is our last chance to stop the industrialization of the Greek Aegean Islands by the Greek government and the companies promoting them. Chios, Crete, Ikaria, Lesbos and Skyros are only a few of the islands in danger due to the implementation of wind turbine parks of gigantic proportions. Such industrial parks will destroy the small scale ecosystems of the Aegean islands and will affect permanently the social and cultural heritage and worlds of these unique areas. This is our fight to stop them. This is not development.

Ολοι εμείς, οι κάτοικοι των νησιών του Αιγαίου, και οι φίλοι γύρω μας, αιτούμαστε να σταματήσετε άμεσα την βιομηχανοποίηση των νησιών του Αιγαίου που προωθήτε νομιμοποιόντας και στηρίζοντας την εγκατασταση τεράστιων αιολικών πάρκων. Παρόμοια τους δεν έχουν υπάρξει πουθενά στην Ευρώπη ή στην ηφύλιο και κύριος στόχος της κατασκευής τους είναι η κερδοκοπία ιδιωτικών επιχειρήσεων. Αυτα τα έργα απειλούν άμεσα α) την κοινωνική ζωή και την πολιτισμική μας κληρονομιά β) τα ευαίσθητα και μικρά οικοσυστήματα γ) την οικονομία των νησιών μας δ) την δημοκρατία, καθώς οι περισσότεροι νησιώτες ειναι εναντιωμένοι σε αυτα τα έργα στα νησιά τους. Σας ζητάμε να προτείνετε νομοθεσία ώστε να προωθήσετε την ορθολογική ανάπτυξη των μικρών και εύθραυστων νησιών μας και να προστατέψετε τις δημοκρατικές μας αξίες.
