William and Mary college, in Williiamsburg Virginia, invited Adam Werbach to speak as part of their DOT Kickoff. The school has taken Sustainability personally and engaged faculty and students to pick a DOT. Adam Werbach and the audience were equally inspired by the actions already taken (7oo+ DOTS on Campus) and by the journey ahead. Adam challenged the school to lead the way to a billion.

William and Mary is the first university to launch DOT on Campus

Sustainable Commuting

One of the entries into our ‘Saatchi BLUE NZ pic and vid competion’ - snap or film yourself doing something BLUE.

Matt commutes to the office in Wellington on his electric skateboard - it has a range of about 12Kms before it needs to be charged up again and can reach speeds of 30km.

Happy For My Dinner Tonight!

June 22nd marked the first day Team One employees began participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). What’s CSA you say? It’s the relationship between a local farm and those that eat the food produced. Most consumers not only are unaware of where their food comes from, but who is growing it and how it is produced. A CSA seeks to end our disconnection from the farmer and the land that sustains us. Joining a CSA helps to continue the ancient practices of land stewardship, while at the same time supporting local farmers.

Every Wednesday, the South Central Farmer’s Cooperative rolls up to our loading dock and delivers local produce boxes for 20 employees. We rush down to the mailroom to see what’s inside our boxes (always a surprise), and many of us have been cooking and sharing both food and recipes throughout the week. Not only are we supporting a local farming initiative, we’re supporting each other and growing our own community of sharing and fun around a sustainable practice.

My introduction post is an invitation to rally for support of the Clean Energy Bill being milled over by the House Means and Ways Committee, which will then be presented to the House of Representatives for a vote June 22. It has to pass and it has to have everything in it to make the nation switch to Clean Energy. Please, please come support the bill to make the U.S. a leader of clean energy. We need to generate as much attention to this issue as possible.

“Local Manhattan residents will hold a clean energy rally outside Rep. Rangel’s office to support Rangel in doing everything he can to  strengthen the clean energy jobs bill, which is going to be voted on in the house the week of June 22nd.”

Hope to see you there.

I would like to share with you a work we have been doing for a while at F/Nazca S&S (Brazil)
It’s a organization called “50 graus” (50 degrees - celsius) we created to discuss global warning through urban guerrillas we promote in São Paulo. Check it out at http://www.50graus.org/
