Between this virtual community and the EcoNet (a nonprofit NGO
network), I feel like the guy who opened King Tut's tomb:
Yowza! What riches!
Thanks to the dozens of you who sent generous, thoughtful
replies to my query about institutional change and individual
action as I prepare a Nov. conference workshop on this topic.
You've expanded my thinking considerably...and made me
additionally proud to be working in this area of social change
at this time in history.
I'm digesting and pondering your replies. My goal is to share
with the SANET, prob. in Oct., a summary of the general features
of what people have shared with me. I will not identify anyone
in any way in that summary (no references to name, geography,
employer, etc.). If you wrote to me and feel that you would
rather your (again, non-identified) ideas NOT be shared like
this, let me know and I'll honor that. On the other hand, if
you'd LIKE to be quoted, let me know; I'll try to oblige. <grin>
Again, thanks. This is a special cluster of people and I value
your input, time, and attention.
