Interdependence Day and other Updates....
There are many global and local celebrations/events happening around sustainable living these transition days – so many in fact that they are hard to keep up with! To us this really shows how much humanity is awakening and evolving towards our next step as a species – the step towards sustainable living. Today was World Environment Day World Environment Day (WED) which was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. Commemorated yearly on 5 June, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

We were so happy to see the site go live on June 2nd and we are committed to helping CAI’s efforts to bring sustainable solutions to the world’s children.

Now that the private community sphere is up and being vibrantly populated with the first four communities that were invited – Findhorn, The Farm, Terra Sante, and Lammas – we will be inviting more communities on Interdependence Day to enter the “Sphere” and begin weaving with all the amazing kindred who are pioneering sustainable living.
We wanted to say a very special thank you to Paul Wimbush from Lammas EcoVillage, Elliott Saxby from NextGEN, and Jason Deptula from The Farm for co-creating an awesome beginning with us and of course deep appreciation to Susan Frank, Robin Marche, Greg Landua, and Vladimir Prolov for their incredible contributions in making this vision into reality!

Dear Fellow Weaver,
ReplyDeleteMight I be so bold to suggest that the 10 options of your website be integrated into a / the Power Flower Matrix Symbol?
The logo you use now is square and based on fourness.
This number is symbolical for Matter.
The 5th middle point was often disgarded, with is You at the center of creation!
The symbol used on the Earth Day logo looks almost identical to 'my' Power Flower logo and has 10 segments that could be 'clickeble'.
I was going to offer for you to use 'my' symbol, but synchronicity has already offered it to you!!!
love your radio show!
(just listening to it)
I made a mistake in the last comment.
ReplyDeleteIt is the symbol of 'Seeds of Sustainability' and not of 'Earth Day' that looks similar to the 'Power Flower' symbol.
