Notes Tools (to Build) for Change: 'SustainaWiki'SustainaWiki is a wiki site designed with one thing in mind: offering information about sustainability to anyone who needs it! Don’t see a page you’re looking for? Make a username and create the page!
I had a quick look around SustainaWiki and it appears quite new with much of the content fairly limited and using 2012 references. So far there are pages addressing energy, food, home improvement, how-to guides, landscaping, technology, transportation, and waste management. If you’ve got some time and knowledge to share… well, you know what to do. If you need some guidance, you might want to check out the users guide.

Notes"Even though the problem of what to do about global climate change is very complex, recent examples like Wikipedia, Google, and Linux show that it’s possible to harness the collective intelligence of thousands of people around the world to solve complex global problems. Our goal with the Climate CoLab is to apply that approach to the problem of climate change."Thomas Malone, director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, talking about a new approach to addressing climate change that involves collaboration and competition. The Center’s Climate CoLab recently announced the winners of a contest generating “a wide range of innovative ideas for how the 21st century economy should evolve in light of the risks of climate change.” You can check out their proposals here.
