About me

I am the founder of Wiser Earth, an idea that arose from researching and writing Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being, and Why No One Saw it Coming. Before Wiser Earth existed, a large staff of interns and volunteers worked together with Peggy Duvette and myself to discover approximately how many organizations there were in the world focused on the environment and social justice, and in particular, where they were and what they were focused on. Today, Wiser Earth is headed up by Peggy and her team and I am just a member. I continue to write, speak, and work on these issues as I have for almost all of my life.

Dear Paul,

 

Thank you for creating this forum. I joined after my sister give me Blessed Unrest, knowing that it was my interest in life. I then heard you on Bioneers and am continually inspired. In my travels around the world I have truly been inspired by others I have met and who are not aware or do not have the means to be apart of the internet group but are active in their mission in life to be a leaver rather than a taker.

 

With Gratitude,

Hi Paul,

 

Wiser-earth is one of the great Idea I ever knew, I congratulate the team behind this initiative. Much to do and learn from wiserearth. The most important thing is, the intellectual associated with wiser-earth is ever-ready to help and guide freshers who are planning to do something for people, society and environment.

 

Cheers for WE community

 

with best regards

Hi Paul, as an editor here I'm encouraging all members to say a bit about themselves. What are you up to these days? Don't be shy!

 

These are busy times but I'd love to see you pop up sometimes in discussions. I recommend wiserearth to you as a platform with huge transformative potential just waiting to be used :-)

I keep trying to imagine what the world would be like if we actually applied the principles of Natural Capitalism.

 

It's a beautiful vision.

 

Thanks

Hello Paul

 

Blessed Unrest is a great read and will be forwarding it onto family & friends.

As a member of Engineers Australia I was put in touch with your book which is well articulated and it brought me to this site.  It is a great mechanism for change.

 

Many thanks

Hi Paul:

 

You have enough on your plate, but I just wanted to drop you this quick note about a project I started recently which may interest you. Some of your essays in Orion were an early influence on my writing style, so I think you deserve a nod of appreciation.

Paul -

My cousin in India just forwarded to me your inspiring commencement address at the University of Portland on May 3, 2009. I find it very encouraging that these thoughts and ideas are circulating on the other side of the planet, and that they have now made their way back to San Francisco.

The address was accessible, friendly, human-scale, and brilliant It will inspire young people to devote their lives to the inquiry and actions that are needed for a sustainable future.

Thank you.

Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.

Hi Paul, 

 

Our Beachside Hearts Desire Group (.org) has been meeting for over 15 months. We have been focused on raising the consciousness in our selves, community, city, state, country, world and cosmos. 

 

We recently saw your presentation and were elated. To have a resource such as wiserearth.org allows us to join in with the extraordinary quiet movement that is changing the world.

 

Take a look and join us if you like.

 

Thank you for initiating this site and its world changing awareness. 

 

With Highest Regards,

 

David
