This document proposes developing UNESCO World Heritage sites into "Eco-Landmarks" to promote sustainable development practices through new technologies and virtual representations. It suggests leveraging recognizable cultural sites to raise global awareness of sustainability issues and attract financial interest in supporting the startup "Save the Planet Unlimited" with 50,000 euros of seed funding. The Eco-Landmarks approach aims to provide context and solutions for sustainability discussions using innovative tools and collaborative networking.
