I have an enquiring mind and seek understanding. I found wiserearth indirectly by entering an on-line political debate. I have a strong sense of fairness and am a firm believer in human rights and freedoms and am not happy with the way the world is managed. I prefer a world run by people for people and governments being democratically elected as representatives, not controllers. There are a few who control the many and their motives are suspect. The majority of people want what I want, but need to be co-ordinated internationally to have any effect. Wiserearth is an international platform to bring groups and individuals with common aims together using the power of the internet. The world needs this to redress the balance and improve understanding.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
expanding my understanding of what others think and feel and what others are actively doing for the benefit of the earth and its people. My confidence has grown that there are sufficient people in this world that care and want a better deal and that through them, change will come. It no longer seems retrograde and impossible to defeat those who put selfishness, greed and power before people.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
revise its layout and organisation to improve accessibility and make it easier to navigate and use. It is unwieldy.
MY ROLE:
General Member of the Public & I joined to contribute what I can, whilst learning from it and attempting to change my lifestyle towards sustainability.
