I received an email from Timonie Hood of WiserEarth thanking me for sharing Paul Hawken's video with my One of the Morally Urgent Questions of Our Moment post. She also asked that I share information on WiserEarth itself which I am glad to do.
Paul Hawaken founded WiserEarth to connect individuals and organizations working on social justice and environmental issues.
Here is some more information on the organization.
WiserEarth helps the global movement of people and organizations working toward social justice, indigenous rights, and environmental stewardship connect, collaborate, share knowledge, and build alliances.
"There is nothing like WiserEarth.
Its' community directory, made by us and for us, has over 100,000 organizations working for just and lasting change."Jon Ramer, USA
Another update I wanted to make to that post was to also mention RealClimate.org, a site mentioned by Bill McKibben in his MITWorld talk. Between the two of them you have hard scientific data and a wise vision that can have a global reach for a better world that could last for at least the next millennium.
RealClimateAbout RealClimate
RealClimate is a commentary site on climate science by working climate scientists for the interested public and journalists. We aim to provide a quick response to developing stories and provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary. The discussion here is restricted to scientific topics and will not get involved in any political or economic implications of the science. All posts are signed by the author(s), except 'group' posts which are collective efforts from the whole team. This is a moderated forum.
We've often been asked to provide a one stop link for resources that people can use to get up to speed on the issue of climate change, and so here is a first cut. Unlike our other postings, we'll amend this as we discover or are pointed to new resources. Different people have different needs and so we will group resources according to the level people start at.
They have a section For complete beginners:
