[All] Fwd: More "Innovation" from our Reductive Friends at Monsanto

[Robert Milligan]

Dear ETC Group (http://www.etcgroup.org/),

You probably know about this already, but just in case ... . The big  
question is, "What more can we do?" I have 2 suggestions:


1. Start a new & more powerful web-based campaign against Monsanto (&  
other GMO companies, GMO university researchers, ...) using the new  
Blitz Bazar (http://www.changemakers.com/wemedia/entries/blitz-bazaar-everybody-changemaker 
) that is favoured by Stanford U's Sustainable Innovation Center:

"Typical to Stanford, cutting-edge web-based campaign-management  
software provided by Blitz Bazaar is powering the challenge. This new  
social movement web platform allows students and other non- 
professionals to easily start and run campaigns. The founder, Lloyd  
Nimetz, a Stanford alumnus himself said, 'Blitz Bazaar is very proud  
to be the Internet-platform powering Social-M. Campaigning is at a  
watershed moment as organizers start to make full use of the social  
Web. It used to be very hard for the well-intentioned to change the  
world, but with the help of new web-tools like Blitz Bazaar, it's now  
- as these Stanford student changemakers are demonstrating - much  
easier.'"

2. So as to continuously inform above effort -- & create another way  
to participate -- set up an included WIKI that will enable continuous  
knowledge & idea development involving GMO's and other Sustainable  
Innovation concerns. A WIKI ebook is "WIKI for Dummies" (http://www.amazon.com/Wikis-For-Dummies 
®-ebook/dp/B000WPXTHY). WIKI software includes, Wikispaces (http://www.wikispaces.com/ 
)

Let's get the lead out on these major Sustainable Innovation issues  
before tragic tipping points -- so accelerate, intensify, extend, ... !

Power to Appropriate Living Systems.

Godspeed,
Robert M

PS: The above suggests some new years resolution possibilities for all  
of us.
