About

Nevache

"Ne doutez jamais qu'un petit groupe d'individus conscients et engages puisse changer le monde"

Sylvain Darnil, Mathieu Le Roux

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."

Mahatma Gandhi

Background
I was raised in a small town called Briancon, spending my days in the snow, skiing during the winter and playing in the woods with my dog during the summer. My parents would always take me to incredible lakes in the mountains and I was taking all of this for granted!

It is sad to think that such places are becoming so precious and rare. My interest for the environment started at a young age. My work is my passion. I have been involved with the Natural Capital Institute NCI for nearly 5 years and half.

As Director of the Natural Capital Institute and Executive Director of WiserEarth, I have been lucky to witness WiserEarth evolved organically. When I am not focusing on WiserEarth, I am concentrating  on our organization's development and general growth. We have an incredible team of people, very inspiring and supportive. If you want to join us, please contact us

In my spare time, I play with my daughter, ; volunteer within my community, sit by the fire place with my husband Oz and finally try to bring smiles to people in need for more happiness. I should also add that I will take any opportunities to dance.

Hi Peggy

Have you imagined your members giving birth to ideas – ideas that would grow into reality through their own programmed volition. I explored this concept while working for a Dutch firm and thought you might like to see the video clip.

Hello Peggy.

 

Do you have an organization/accountability chart for WE.

 

Do you have an issue tracking system?

 

Is WE project based?

 

How are the focus areas presently managed?

 

Is architecture, design and coding of the platform opened to interested members?

Hi Peggy!

 

This is Daniel from Spain. 

 

I have just had a funny realization that I wanted to share with you. 

Did you know that IBM's strategy for the following years is to build what has been coined "a smarter planet".

It is funny to see how you conceived the same thing just from another perspective: "A wisher earth"

Ne doutez jamais qu'un petit groupe d'individus conscients et engages puisse changer le monde. 

 

If everything goes as planned, I will have the opportunity to go to San Francisco and stay more time than the last time. I hope that this time we will have the occasion to meet.

 

All the best

Daniel

To Wiserearth,

Looking at Wiserearth I can see how it has grown a great deal over the last couple of years. The tenants of Wiserearth like the many people and organizations on it are all looking at somewhat of the same issue and that’s how do we become more unified in action across the globe. Which, the Wiserearth website now plays a role in. Over the last month or so I have been proposing out on The Zeitgeist Movement the creation of a World or Planetary Council that would have a unifying effect if applied on our world this is where all the known human disciplines could be arrayed into a non-hierarchical structure. Where as seen within the below link the arrows indicate the flow of information and the categories are in effect the human discipline structures arrayed across the council.

 

Do you think the World or Planetary Council idea as I have proposed out on Zeitgeist as seen in the below link is something that Wiserearth would be willing to support.

 

http://planetarydevelopment.com/worldcouncildesignone.htm

 

I would be interested in your insight on this issue.

 

Respectfully,

 

Randy

Hi Peggy -- I am a filmmaker with a short (humorous) environmental film (about excessive real estate development in the Rocky Mountains) that has made the film festival rounds, and  I'm now looking for ways to share it free of charge with interested folks.  Is it okay to use WiserEarth to send it to groups that seem like they might enjoy it?   Here's a link to the page:

 

Check out "The Lost People of Mountain Village" on Wiser Earth:

Hi Peggy, I am so glad I discovered EarthWise, this will be great not only for my ecopsyc. class but for always. I want badly to get involved in my local community regarding the ecocrisis. I would like to get the hospital I work for to go more green.

I have joined some groups 2 or 3, so far and am excited about getting more involved with helping heal humanity and our home. I welcome any feedback, info on resourse etc. Thanks, Shan

Dear Peggy,

                       I have just finished writing a book and will be looking for a publisher. I am involved with a campaign named 'Cap and Share' - an international scheme for reducing carbon emmissions and compensating individual families for the resulting rising cost of living. At an international level the schme would involve distributing equal value emissions coupons to all adults in the world who would then exchange them for cash at a cash distribution point like a bank or post office. The producers of fossil fuels (i.e. the upstream end) would have to purchase these permits from the banks before they could put their products on the market. The international control body would reduce the number of coupons distributed each year in accordance with internationally agreed targets for emissions. www.capandshare.org

 

I have been very impressed by the hard work of Polly Higgins at DESERTEC who are promoting the use of concentrated solar power as the means to provide most of the world's electricity requirements.

CSP could also be used in conjunction with desalination plants to provide clean water in desert regions.

 

I would also recommend a look at the web site of FEASTA (Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability).

 

I am proposing the establishment of a new science which I am calling 'philonomics'

www.philonomics.org.uk  I have posted my initial thoughts about this on the web site and would welcome contributions to the debate.  

 

I belong to the lifestyle movement 'Future in Our Hands'. www.fiohnetwork.org
