Here's what some organization representatives are saying about WiserEarth:
"WiserEarth has gone ahead and created the thing that everyone has been saying we desperately need: the well-organized, elegantly presented all-in-one directory for folks working in the fields of social and environmental justice and advocacy. As the Step It Up team moves forward and thinks about the possibilities of international movement building around climate change, it strikes us that WiserEarth is the perfect ally and resource moving forward."

Added 'no need to sign in' on version II, paragraph 3
|
|
Changed paragraph 2 - got rid of 'appear at'. to just read 'at the end of this email.
|
|
Changed paragraph 2 to make the 'if you already have an individual user account, sign in and start editing' so that it appears at the end of the sentence not at the start (I assume most users won't have an account).
|
|
Changed the text which appears in the hypertext link color to include 'check the information' rather than the highlight over 'on your organization's listing'. Added links to the Spanish and French emails
|
|
Thanks Bowo for making those changes. That works. I'll introduce the changes on all other versions.

Deleted this sentence from version B: "If you need help with editing, we have compiled tips to assist you" ... to focus action on clicking [Edit] at the end of the email. Also added a question on how to edit to the FAQ page. So at least, tips on editing is one click away. |

Is there a way to send information to the Global network.? IS there a system wide email account the can bring information to all the stakeholders on this website? I ask this because I was watching this weekend the information on CNN comeing out of DAvos. that most people inthe world blame American government and their people for the current economic global crisis. The Reaganism and Thatcherism, a 40 year Lazzie Fare Policies that need reform and regulation also need pressure from a grassroots network to contact the USSenate and House and the White House US Presidents office to put pressure for the needed reforms to jump start recovery. Face it, this network could actually bring the pressure to bare where the presure needs to be. The UN will not see the human rights aspects to resource scarcity until those who are driving the train have the pressure to run the train off renwable energy and the creat the infratructure world wide to do this.
We are the heartbeat for a better world. Please let me know how this can happen. Elaine Cimino |
