But why do we need WiserEarth?
www.WiserEarth.org
• One million + organizations and millions of people around the world actively working toward ecological sustainability and social equality - issues that are systemically interconnected and intertwined.
• Our effectiveness to prevent harm and institute positive change undermined by our lack of collective awareness, the duplication of efforts, and poor connectivity.
• What is missing is a map and directory of this network, one that includes the necessary resources for communication and cooperation; in essence, an infrastructure through which to coordinate our efforts.
• • WiserEarth.org provides this infrastructure
