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.'</span>"</div><div><div><a href="http://csi.gsb.stanford.edu/stanford-unveils-new-competition-environmental-sustainabilityRobert">http://csi.gsb.stanford.edu/stanford-unveils-new-competition-environmental-sustainabilityRobert</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>2.</b> So as to continuously inform above effort -- & create another way to participate -- set up an <b>included WIKI</b> that will enable continuous knowledge & idea development involving GMO's and other Sustainable Innovation concerns.
