	Welcome, everyone!! This is CatComm's brand new WiserEarth Group. This is where we'll be coordinating our online community from now on. Not only that but we're so convinced of the power of WiserEarth and its tools that we've taken on translating the entire user interface to Portuguese. Soon we'll be coordinating communities using WE across Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, and beyond... Theresa Williamson 4:45 pm
