Hello there! About this time last year, I was exploring social networking and looking for inspiring thought leaders, groups, and websites in the environmental arena. Much to my delight, I came across a six-minute video on YouTube called Paul Hawken, Blessed Unrest, and Wiser Earth.
After enjoying the video, I was off to the bookstore to fetch a copy of Paul Hawken’s book Blessed Unrest, How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming. In his book, Paul Hawken, who is described as an “environmental entrepreneur, journalist and author”, artfully shares how the environmental and social justice movements have quickly come together to make up over one million active organizations across the globe. The book is uplifting, compelling, well-written, and I’d highly recommend it. If you would like to take the timely topic area one step further, there is a great social networking website called Wiser Earth. It is definitely worth a peek.
