Becoming an Everyday Activist!

The Everyday ActivistIn each persons lifetime there are books that stand out from the rest and these are generally the ones that leave some sort of impression on us. I am lucky to have a number of books like this and this weekend, after a stocking up on some new additions to our mini library, i came across one of such books. The title is "The everyday activist" and within seconds of skimming through its pages, i knew that it had come to me at the perfect timing.

Greening the desert!

Rynhardt, a good friend and fellow South African living in london, just showed me an awesome video about a group of people that have taken on a project, where they are have taken a baron piece of land in the desert and turned into in a thriving showcase for what can be done with some clever permaculture.

Inspire Change goes live!

Anybody who knows us will understand what a big deal it is that we have finally got the site up! We are all super excited about getting the ball rolling with Inspire Change. We are essentially soft launching the site this week, which means that we wont be doing any major marketing until we know the site has been put through its paces. If you find anything in the site that doesnt work properly or look right, please let us know so that we can get it fixed asap! Also, you will notice that a lot of the sites functionality has been disabled.

Congrats Obama: Lets do it together!

After 8 long years of Bush - a fresh start. Let's seize this historic moment to send a flood of global messages to Obama. Our message and the number of signers, as well as all our personal messages, will be displayed on a giant wall in the heart of Washington DC. Over the next 48 hours, the wall could become a focal point for US media reporting on global reactions to the Obama win. A massive global response will help make this a major moment of unity and reconciliation between the US and the world. Let's get to a million!
