Building a Powerful Group on WiserEarth
Edit this Page
WiserEarth is a new system that is presently being "fine-tuned" by the programmers as of this posting (Jan 7, 2008).
Browsing the Groups, I discovered that the Puget Sound Community Change (PSCC) began using WiserEarth about a year ago. Reading the following PSCC Discussion Topic gives insight to their expectations from WiserEarth ... http://www.wiserearth.org/forum/view/770a49276ccd2a2284c3f912a8b3bff6/group/pscc
Also, Paul Hawkins of WiserEarth explains the background for developing WiserEarth at http://www.wiserearth.org/user/paul -- in his personal profile, Paul states:
"WiserEarth ... is intended to be a means to enlarge our awareness and contacts, to learn more, to share more, to better grasp the scope of this movement that has no name, a movement that is populated by citizens everywhere who care deeply about people and the earth. It is that simple. And it is that complex (e.g. see Areas of Focus). This movement is the most complex thing human beings have ever done.
...
And the idea here, one of the big ideas, is to work together so that can see each other, visualize the links and breadth, and perhaps know for the first time that human beings have a remarkable ability to heal the wounds that we human beings have ignorantly caused."
It is my hope that this virtual meeting place will facilitate our supporting each other in defining and achieving our personal desires and goals in relation to our environment, particularly related to Global Warming. So, explore the other Groups and as well as the Resources -- there is a wealth of information here that will help us become effective in our personal lives as well as educating others (individuals, communities, employers, local governments, etc) to expand and leverage our actions.
