About [Edit]
Wise Women (Women In Sustainability and the Environment) is a new network formed to bring together women who are working in, are concerned about and want to do more about sustainability and the environment.
This is a call to action to all women out there who are actively involved in, or want to be involved in, progressing environmental issues - be it through policy making, working in the renewables sector, journalists writing about the environment, zero carbon housebuilders, Wild lawyers, environmental lawyers, eco-designers, mothers who care ... in other words pro-active women who are advancing or want to advance the eco-agenda in their work and in what they think, do, say, sell, promote, advance, cook, buy, write... females with a genuine commitment to and involvement with environmental issues.Peak Oil and Climate Change are the two inextricably linked crises of today which governments, communities and individuals cannot and must not ignore. With that knowledge comes the requirement to act.
This is a call to action to collectively pool our strength of commitment, to information-share, learn and assist each other as we push to make our and the lives of others on this planet sustainable. As individuals we have great potential, collectively we can do so much more. We can and must change the world. For that is what is required, and it is required in our lifetime.
This is about doing.
Doing now.
"The beauty of the living world I was trying to save has always been uppermost in my mind---that, and anger at the senseless brutish things that were being done. I have felt bound by a solemn obligation to do what I could---if I didn't at least try I could never be happy again in nature. But now I can believe I have at least helped a little."
--Rachel Carson, letter to a friend.
