Why do we need WiserEarth?
There are more than one million organizations and many millions of us around the world who are actively working toward ecological sustainability, economic justice, human rights protection, political accountability and peace — issues that are systemically interconnected and intertwined.
Our effectiveness to prevent harm and institute positive change is undermined by our lack of collective awareness, duplication of efforts, and poor connectivity.
What has been missing is a map and directory of our network that includes the resources for communication and cooperation; in essence, an infrastructure through which to coordinate our efforts. WiserEarth provides this infrastructure. It provides a way for us to become better connected and more effective at working together.

First became acquainted with Paul Hawken via a BIONEERS conference presentation gave in 2004. I was delighted to learn there were MILLIONS of like-minded people globally working to counter and remediate the the industrial degradations inflicted on Earth and peoples internationally. Most egregious assaults seem to be against populations in developing countries where oil, minerals riches are exploited.
In the age of ShockDoctrine politics WISER Earth is an elixir, a cathartic remedy to the evils capitalism inflicts on innocents.
Currently, I am enjoying “BLESSED UNREST” written by Paul Hawken. I recommend it to all.
2010 BIONEER CONFERENCE featured a 15 year old who initiated, with great exhilaration, a GLOBAL YOUTH MOVEMENT – iMatter.org which is a youth movement to show politicians and decision makers all over the Earth that young people are aware of the environmental chaos their preceding generations left them to solve, and are demanding/requesting the initiation of better practices to assure their lives will be worth living.
If you know adolescents encourage them to text: iMatter.org and get involved with their own movement towards environmental and social justice. |

Here I find myself surfing, navigating, exploring, discovering, and becoming informed about the AWESOME movement taking place in this beautiful Planet Earth. I just joined Wiser Earth and will take me a while to digest, assimilate, integrate the wealth of information encompassed. I will continue to read, read, read about the numerous groups and their growth for a better Planet. I am not very savvy with the computer, social networking. I come into Age to this magnificent tool that allows me to interact locally and globally, one of my dreams for years. I see myself as a curious, inspired, excited beginner in the science of global awareness and interaction, in this virtual vehicle so new to me. I come from a time of typewriters, face to face interaction/communication, with individuals, groups, communities. Now in retirement I have been involved locally yet at a much more slower pace than before. Learning to be by dissipating the mind, and merging more with nature around me has brought me Peace and Harmony within. Now I am preparing to surf into a Bigger Mind piece by piece, part by part. I salute you all, and I am filled with gratitude for all the contributions that you are making to Co Create a Gentle Wiser Earth, my blessings, Namaste, and much metta Colibri

My dear environmentalist, Thank you for info and invitation. But, we are carbon neutral since year 2000. NGO Eco Centre “Charles Darwin” is formed because that. Looking forward for Peggy’s reply on my SYLLABUS. Sincerely yours, Kemo |

Just found and joined WiserEarth after searching for permaculture and organic farming resources/workshops—looking forward to learning more via networking and connections/organizations found here! This is the first UI I’ve found that has ALL of the topics that I’m looking for. Fabulous! Can’t wait to delve into this wonderful social networking site!

Considering what a powerful tool for grassroots democracy the Internet is, I am interested in finding organizations that are helping bring Internet access to the five billion residents of planet Earth who presently lack it. Thanks to WiserEarth for developing this web application.

I have joined WiserEarth to become wiser and more learned about the Earth. I am currently doing a large scale installation of solar energy heaters in low-income housing to improve the quality of life of the poor by bringing hot water to them, to improve their health by preventing them from having to burn kerosene and paraffin on stoves to make hot water and in this way reducing gas emissions. But I came to do this work without any real qualifications or experience in the sector and feel a need to accelerate my education by joining groups that will be able to support the work that I have started in my country.

Hi. I’m a new member. This could be valuable. Suggestion #1: have a “suggestion box” or feedback button. Suggestion #2: when searching/browsing the group descriptions, include a “last activity” time/date. I don’t want to spend time looking at the page for a group that hasn’t had any activity for two or three years. Thanks for offering a great service!
