SHORT BIO:

Ursula Sladek, born in 1946, mother of five children and managing director of the “Elektrizitätswerke Schönau” (EWS), which is the only democratically legitimised electricity-supplying company in Germany, could be counted to the “icons” of the German environmental movement. Since over 20 years she consequently and courageously stands up for an ecologically sustainable, non-nuclear and non-coal energy supply, for decentralisation and democratisation, for climate protection and for a worldwide fair sharing of energy. In more than 100 lectures every year she is encouraging people to set against the “arrogance of power” of big trusts and politics, to pursue ecological and humanitarian targets, which so often fall victim to fixation on profits, with patience, endurance and creativity. Her advocacy of individual self-responsibility no longer attracts attention only in Germany; there had been lecture-travels to Japan and the USA and also in the neighbouring states of Germany the EWS and its managing director enjoy growing popularity.
