What I love about this wee 'campaign' is that it is a heart opener - for both the writer and the recipient. I think this style of advocacy has the potential to be very powerful. It seems to me that this is not the Age for angry protest (they hardl...

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I’ve got the hots for web-based interaction that is community and participation-centric that empowers users to 'network' their butts off. I am also interested how deep that networking can be.
I can now call myself a Social Entreprenuer, because i looked at wikipedia, and it describes all other 'stuff' I do.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_entrepreneurship
I currently serve as the chair of the Sustainability Trust. Our trust enables people to adopt new sustainable behaviours. www.sustaintrust.org.nz
I helped to establish this young professionals network for young(ish) people who are passionate about cultural transformation and sustainability. Meet the trustees:
www.intersect.org.nz
My favourite things about the ‘new world’ that I see emerging around me today; a culture of care, new and remembered social processes, the opportunities for connection and meaning that the quest for ‘sustainability’ creates, deeply happy people who hold complexity with grace.
I also love the ukulele. It is a significant part of creating a happier world. www.ukulele.co.nz

Ending my addiction to Aviation Fuel
I'm writing this on the bus from Wellington to Auckland. Its 5pm, and I've been on the road since 8am. This is the Naked Bus service, and the ticket cost me $38, even though I booked it late in the piece. I'm traveling up to Auckland to do a TV appearance with my band - the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra. We will be on air for maybe 20 minutes, and then we are going to take the opportunity to do an in-store appearance at Real Groovy before coming home. Sure, love the fame and opportu… Continue

Nipple Fridge Takes the Prize
In the Page Blackie Gallery last night, Intersect - a national network of young leaders in sustainability - awarded 22 year old Amelia Hitchcock for her artwork “New Zealand Pure”. The artwork is a ‘dunger’ of a fridge - stacked with old fashioned baby bottles filled with water collected from lowland rivers around the artist’s home town , Wanganui.

Ben Barrett said… - Hey Megan, Just want to give you a shout out and say I am a fan of your work and efforts. Saw your design studio site a few years back and glad to see you are behind this site. My girlfriend Belinda Gorman just mentioned she knew of you too (small world). We have just moved into our fist house in Kilbirnie! And looking around for oranic compost and garden supplies too, if you know of any hook ups.
YOu may know I am studying Enviormental Science at Vic and would like to get to grips with the depth of the comunity you have created so far. Fromwhere Iam at, there seems to behuge potential in desgin and conectivity for communities so be great to chat if you ever have time. My background is on the intersect profile.
Cheers and keep up the good work. Ben
