Some time in assembling a good foundation promises to make this fall's move much more effective. That said, broad brush criticism of corporations would be unnecessarily provokative. The Sustainability Project is, after all, a corporation, non-profit as it happens, but a body constituted by law. Thanks to being corporate, which to a large extent means accountable, in that where we get money from and what we spend it on can be investigated as a part of our charter. Because we are so accountable, we were awarded a Student Work contract which hired a student for us for 6 weeks. We could not have afforded such help, but due to Greg's work, we now have audio and AV material on our site and have learned the skills to produce more. (You can find the material at the top of the "Articles" link at<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.SustainWellBeing.net" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://www.SustainWellBeing.net</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> These will be posted on the front page of a new web site, which Greg also produced for us, along with teaching me to use DreamWeaver so that I can link up the other 200 or so pages from the old site. All to be launched with the Question of Direction later this month, Gaia willing.<br><br><span class="apple-tab-span"> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>All of which is to say that not all corporations are evil. THose that are are huge & we are best to gather voices for the Question of Direction without troubling them as to our efforts. If we are successful & stirring up the discussion, they will become aware when the process is moving with such energy that it can withstand their power to bend popular perception through the media.<br><br><span class="apple-tab-span"> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>It would be great if GREN could arrange an event for Nov. 16.
