You may remember that a few weeks ago I attended a breakfast introducing the 30 Days of Sustianability Project, and mentioned that there were plans to launch an interactive website on the Bryght platform.

Well, as it turns out, I ended up being hired to help manage the site during the 30 Days. We launched it today - phew!

Special features of the website include:

  • a comprehensive event calendar, listing the dozens of workshops, sustainability cafes, speakers, and so much more taking place through the 30 Days;
  • a collection of photographs that will be taken by attendees at events all month;
  • A What's New section that lists all of the news updates;
  • an interactive 30 Questions section, where a new question will be posted each day, and the public will have the chance, along with our panel of sustainability experts, to discuss actionable things we can do to advance sustainability.

I'll be keeping an eye on it all month, moderating discussion, posting the new question each day, and generally helping out. I'm really hoping to see it get used to its full potential.

If you live in the Vancouver area, be sure to check out the event listings, and go check out a few things that sound interesting. Some of the philosopher cafe topics sound great to me. And if you can, take photos and post them to the Flickr group!

Perhaps most importantly to me, please check out the questions of the day, and leave your thoughts. Pass the link along to your friends, too... the more comments, the merrier!

About this Site

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
