Bowo, When you have time, I would love to hear your thoughts about this, on-line cross-cultural conversations: http://www.vesterberg.se/2008/11/10/cross-cultural-conversations/ All the best Anders

Thank you for featuring me. a a result , I got a message from Cherlin who is working to empower school children to perform environmental assessments. I wrote this letter back in response and invite feedback and further development of this idea from others.
Hello Cherlin,

There’s a movement gaining momentum everyday and it’s global! It’s about mentoring, inspiring, and empowering one another to realize we can all make a positive difference; simply by passing on kind acts and good deeds.
We have joined hundreds of thousands of other organizations to focus on what we have in common, rather than our differences. This shift, “The Pass it On Movement” embraces all creeds, religions, and political beliefs. If it doesn’t appeal to 100% of the population then it is not part of the movement.
Every entity, non-profit, business, school, organization, and individual can be part of this shift. Together, we can all unite and collaborate as just one voice to “pass it on” and make the world a gentler, kinder place.
Please explore our website www.aunitedworld.org to learn more, and “Pass It On!” If you are a school or nonprofit organization and would like more information please send your inquiry to aunitedworld@gmail.com">aunitedworld@gmail.com.
All individuals, please contact rhonda@wetheworld.org">rhonda@wetheworld.org for more information.

HI Bowo! I have hosted a number of World Cafés at the Red Cross in our town about sustainability. Have you heard of the World Café? Very interesting experiences! Those meetings got me thinking on democracy and citizen dialogue. Many feel a distance to politicians and leaders and do not get involved. We have to rework democracy to mean involvement. I have not been that active at WiserEarth for some months. I am sure there are some interesting discussions about this here. /Anders |

Bowo -- thanks for reaching out after finding my review of Blessed Unrest. Thanks for steering me and my project to WiserEarth. It is a jolt of hope which I will certainly pass on.

Thank you Bowo for this website and all the beautiful one may connect with. As I stated to you, I am on life-support, without much savvy about making websites, pages, but I have found the kindest peoples in life willing not only to assist me but to help me connect to a wider audience of peoples on the golden highway of the Internet. I never thought I would or that people really cared. To date I have found three peoples. Hopefully, there will be more. I am here as well on http://spiritoftibet.ning.com/group/walkfortibet I am hoping I can find peoples and youth of the earth willing to join in our walk, and not only to be in support of Tibet, etc., but to help us further in making our Global Peace Centre, for youth to elderly unable to leave their envorinments because of catastrophic issues of illnesses, being disabled by violence in their homelands, incarcerated by heartless governments, on life support because of end-life-issues, compounded issues of illnesses, no computers, etc.. I am here to try and represent those lives who have the least connect, but need to be fully remembered, and have a place soon enough of entry physically, as well through the golden highway, without barriers. Most places externally for our lives have no 'access and inclusion'. But as profoundly disabled lives, we can't keep our silence, or say there is nothing we can't do or say. So hopefully if we can't get out, there will be peoples and youth who will 'walk for us', as in the walk for tibet, or help us here on the internet get out our message. Our non-profit MHONA hopes to lead in that offering, but we need peoples willing to help us regardless of our disabilities, and profoundly. if you won't give up, neither will we, (or i) : ) It is through the wonderful websites as yours, on WiserEarth and individual peoples I have had the pleasure of meeting that have offered me uplift, hope, support, and understanding that our dreams, even at the end of life as i face, can and may become real. Hopefully, on this website and through the connects of many more peoples who truly care, we may see our last goals come to fruition. I am thankful for Wiser Earth and all who help us in our last journey to leave that positive bridge and legacy to the future. Thank you so very much.
P.S. Just in case my information does not reach you, I am placing it here. I do look forward to healthy interaction and positive connect to you and others. God Bless. Sincerely,

Hi Bowo, I have just returned from the Asia Fair Trade conference in Sri Lanks where I witnessed the birth of the WFTO The World Fair Trade Organization - representing 110 million farmers, artisans, supporters and companies and organizations 100% dedicated to Fair Trade - and the creation of the sustainable economy. A potential solution to poverty, climate change and the financial crisis just put itself in to gear. Truly an exciting moment. thanks for your support, and the feature. R

Thanks for featuring me, and John and Sharon's book! You seem like a very cool person. I especially like, "We are the ones we've been waiting for."
I wish us all Good Luck in helping others decide to take the red pill.

Since you like smooth music, pandora.com is a good place to get it piped to your computer for free and you get to choose what is piped.
Also jazziz.com is a good jazz magazine. I have no financial interest in them but there magazine is cool, especially since it comes with a CD each month that introduces me to new artists and a mixture of songs that I'd never find on my own. It keeps me eclectic. |

Greetings Ken,
Glad to know that you've found that wikipage on integrating Earth Charter into WiserEarth's Are of Focus taxonomy. The discussion around that suggestion is still very much open, though I haven't pursued it further as other work on improving other parts of the site took precedence. Would love to hear how the idea can be of use for the form and content of your "bioregional curriculum". Please feel free to discuss further in the discussion linked above including an explanation of what "bioregional curriculum" is and what it's for. I've spent some time reading through the bioregional congress website and have learned about bioregionalism a while ago and found the idea to be a highly potential policy and action framework in transitioning to a sustainable mode of living on a place. So, I'm very much interested on providing you with any assistance I can give. Btw, I do have plans to create a suggestion page for it in the WiserEarth Suggestions group so that it can be elaborated and voted upon by other community members for implementation by WiserEarth developers. With warm regards, Bowo |

Hi,
Just a quick query about wanting to know if the discussion about integrating the Earth Charter taxonomy is still being actively pursued as an integrating principle for WiserEarth taxonomy. I'm involved in developing a bioregional curriculum to be distributed under the auspices of the Continental Bioregional Congress (www.bioregional-congress.org) and we're looking closely at form and content issues right now and so am interested in that discussion. If you have any updates/thoughts, feel free to email me directly at kel@kni.ks.gov Thanks for all your good work, Ken Lassman |

Cool...same here.
I didn't realize I could be googled?!? (then again...who can't these days!)
All the best,

Hi Bowo! Greetings from a cold nothern Sweden (even a little snow yesterday). It was great to read your profile and telling by what you write and books you are commenting on, it seems we have a lot in common. It is really powerful to connect to people all around the globe in this move. I have recently joined WiserEarth and been looking for groups to connect to. Seems like I have found one... All the best, /Anders |

Dear Bowo - I'm reading your profile and it looks like we have much in common. I am publisher of a small but growing blog HumanKind Media at http://www.humankindmedia.com/. We recently did a month or so of articles on sustainability, and before that on peace. I wish I had known you before we started writing those. I'm looking forward to reading back through your blogs. If you'd like to see what we wrote about you can click on the link above and find the "conversations" on sustainability and peace on the left sidebar.
I look forward to continuing to read your blogs and comments on WiserEarth.
Peace,
Chris HumanKind Media |

What a pleasure to read your profile and see many synergies. Thank you for being another person from the southern hemisphere looking at these issues and reclaiming the future. Warm greetings from Australia. Maybe you can help me add my map of countries visited to my profile! Thanks for being who you are in this world! |

I admire your passion.
I am passionate too, but in my case for doing things with water supply for the poor.
My sense is that you with your youth are yet in that state where you see idealized futures and you are driven to be some kind of an activist that calls for actions but your followers are mostly more people calling for action, but so very few prepared or able to act.
That is while I am impressed by your zeal I am saddened that there seems no tangible action to come from your energies. It seems all talk.
For example I seldom read a paragraph that does not contain a number for I know that people can talk on endlessly with adjectives that have no relative meaning, but to place a number, to quantify something means you put your reputation on the table. I am willing to put numbers with what I say and do and then I hope for others to step up with better numbers if they can. But with the people that seem to post here there is little sense they are in the real world due to their lack of action, their abundance of talk.
