EarthSayers

established 8/19/2008 12:49 pm | updated 8/19/2008 12:49 pm

Inviting Ode readers to be a focus group for a prototype of a site a group of us have developed which is the first Website devoted to highlighting the voices of the sustainability movement. The video and audio programs are presented to educate and inspire people, particularly affluent boomers and their adult children to adopt sustainabie lifestyles.

We are interested in your feedback and suggestions for the site at www.earthsayers.tv. Because it is a prototype, the site includes information about us and our plans. Are you inspired, educated, and/or motivated by the content on the site? Would you recommend it to others?


GROUP MESSAGES:

While adding content to www.EarthSayers.tv, I am always inspired and educated. EarthSayers are individuals who are taking active steps to motivate and inspire us to change. The 7th Generation Project, for example, is a not for profit social capacity and network project seeking to address the interwoven layer of human, earth and economic sustainability.

In their video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6RZVuHIuD4 (yes it is on EarthSayers as well, but until we get funding to build the site out, it is easier and quicker to send you directly to Youtube)

They identify the five key inhibitors to change:

1. Awareness (I had no idea it was so serious) 2.Capacity (I don’t know how to fix it) 3. Action (What can I do about it) 4. Leadership Why aren’t we doing anything about this? 5. Community I can’t do this on my own.

EarthSayers.tv is focused on all five inhibitors. Awareness and capacity through the content on EarthSayers.tv and the EarthSayer Leadership Network as proposed is being designed to address inhibitors 3 through 5.

We are going to have to bring more ideas like EarthSayers.tv to the fore that address these inhibitors one by one and with great innovation and activism.
