Inspiring Land, Money and Media Projects
In my last post about Transition Towns I mentioned that Gloria and I decided to try and write a post a day throughout May about inspiring people and projects. She's done a pretty good job so far, having covered Maya Angelou, Ruth Cox, Muhammad Yunus, Charles Drew, Jane Goodall, and Mark Johnson. I've not managed to keep the one post a day pace at all, so to make up for it I'm going to link to all my favourite land, money and media project on this page... (but its now gone 3am so I'm hitting … [Read more...]
