Hey Chris, Meaning is our ONLY guideline in ‘using the power of media for positive change’…Without it, we’re stuck with vapid values and the Hiltonization of pop culture on a global scale as we export our drek elsewhere.

MY plans? To put you in my RSS reader pronto, as we keep cross-pollinating on themes. First it was when I discovered your blog via Beth Kanter’s Twitter/Cambodia project and wrote about it here: http://www.shapingyouth.org/blog/?p=729 Then it was the OLPC post here: http://www.shapingyouth.org/blog/?p=776.

NOW it’s making me laugh out loud, because just yesterday I wrote about the need for GREEN to be more about meaning over money, since the sustainability movement could make a bigger impact by aligning with each other rather than splintering into factions of specialization. Plus, green conferences hither & yon are adding to the carbon footprint, and could really benefit from your techno-expertise and media savvy!

This is my post on Shaping Youth, called, “Green Scene Needs Digital Convergence…”

I’m convinced that folks like you and Beth can ‘show us all how to do it’

—That’s “my plan,” anyway. ;-)

There is this big, shining, entertaining, addictive, exclusive, monopolizing, universal thing which is called Internet.
All the rest is just life.

How about we brand, teaching kids to read as the KInd,Kind, Kind Brand! We have taught them text messaging and now they can’t

i loved this post
i wonder about some of the computer lives
i even have to remind you sometimes to come up for air
and you have to remind me to keep up with what’s going on in the tech world

both of us seeing outside our box
in opposite directions :)

as a note
i do not live green
in fact
i make no effort what so ever to live green-ER
in that case i look outside of my box
and i just don’t get it.
which is what happens too.
just because you look at it doesn’t mean you see it.

I am making efforts through my web sites to post articles by people who are trying to make a difference , “in my opinion !” Knocking peoples efforts, is a waste of time being positive is what we all need ! I am not a fan of brands ! I am a fan of very generic
efforts directed at helping our society ! Pick one area stick with it
put the grain of sand in the Oyster and it will become a Pearl! We can take a lesson from Dr.Mani one cause from start to finish ! Global Warming ? How about Al Gore promotes teaching all the kids in the world to read ! This is Possible ! To Stop Nature from her pruning process I have my doubts! If any one has a cause just send me the information I will put it on my sites and punch it out to social networks ! This is my contribution !
