"It's been fascinating to learn more about the wide range of issues 'WiserEarthlings' are undertaking -- it's really inspiring."

Q. What motivates you to be a WiserEarth Editor?

I was motivated by the opportunity to support actions and change that WiserEarth makes possible by connecting great people and great organizations. I have been especially impressed by WiserEarth’s model of international user-generated site content, the global collaboration happening in WiserEarth Groups, and the range of different ways there are to contribute.

I also really enjoy helping others get involved, expand their networks, and magnify the impacts of their activities.

Q: What do you enjoy most doing as a WiserEarth Editor?

I enjoy welcoming WiserEarth newcomers. It’s been fascinating to learn more about the wide range of issues “WiserEarthlings” are undertaking -- it’s really inspiring. I enjoy reading about the newcomers interests and helping connect them with people, organizations, and Groups with similar interests. I met someone who's starting an art reuse organization and was able to connect her with an incredible nonprofit reuse expert who built a very successful eductaional reuse organization. Making connections like that feels really great.
