sustainability group New action-oriented activist group forming  
Katie Kloth returned from the failed Copenhagen15 summit with a commitment to get some kind of action-oriented group going in this area. I attended the first meeting of what she's calling Eco-Action Collective although that name may be changed.  First meeting attracted nine young people, at or past the point of graduating from higher education, plus this old geezer. The group seems to want to focus on system change, aiming at pointing out the failure of capitalism to be able to continue on any sort of sustainable basis, and looking for alternative systems that could take its place.  Taking the slogan System Change, not Climate Change from Klimaforum09 (the alternative climate summit also in Copenhagen), the group seemed initially fairly much in tune on these points. Initial meetings are either going to be action meetings, or more discussion meetings (finding common ground on ideology etc.)  It's not aiming to be an on-campus group at all, but a community group. I urged them to remain focused on youth, not just college but high school and middle school if possible _link_s can be made. As I get notices of meetings upcoming I'll try to notify folks. I think it's good to have another sustainability-oriented group in town, in order to pose more radical solutions than perhaps a mainstream sustainability organization is unable to do because of constraints from institutions (and institutional baggage) with which people are already associated.  Perhaps various groups can co-endorse and work together on action items in coalitions, as has always been common in organizational work in my own personal history. Just my 2 cents anyway, Bobby G.

Wooden Nokia Nokia's Eco-Team, a group of workers developing a more environmentally friendly phone concept, designed the wooden kamerofon with 8 megapixel camera.
