I just came across your blog and am enjoying it, thanks!
I’m in on the strategy… let’s play catch up after Christmas.
La Marguerite!
How wonderful to have found you… I’ve given you a shout out in two of the ‘green’ blogs I co-author: The World Café’s Climate Change, and the ICE (International Community for Ecopsychlogy) blog, Seeds for Thought, where I usually write on Art & Ecopsychology (blogging is an art, yes?).
I love your combination of topics – from the way French & American culture dances together, to green psychology, environmental issues, general politics, and social networking! This variety reflects the complexity of a real human psyche, curious and alive.
I’m so sick of the compartmentalization that seems to be the norm in the ‘professional’ world, and I am trying to integrate the same wholeness you are reflecting in my own blog – the Beauty Dialogues, which is about my passion for holding beauty at the center of everything – be it love of nature, my photographic art, or my fascination with the online world and how to design life-affirming communications within it.
It’s great to hear a European perspective from someone who is also familiar with what’s happening in the US. I spent many years in Europe (with many fabulous trips to France!), and now that I’m living back in the US I find I am hungry for the company of others who hold an awareness of both European and American culture. It’s so good to have met you! I can’t wait to explore your blog more fully…
Warm New Year’s Blessings to you!

Amy,
I am very glad you found me. Like you, I believe the complex challenges facing our world can only be solved through a cross-pollination of the various disciplines. Leonardo is my hero!
Let’s talk . . .

There has been renewed news coverage about phthalates in baby personal care products. I have a link in my blog if you want to read one carried by AP. You can read the underlying study titled “Baby Care Products: Possible Sources of Infant Pthalate Exposure” by also resorting to today’s post on my blog.
Will do, Rob. Thanks!
We really appreciate your insights. Nothing fancy, but here is a small token of our appreciation we shared with our community, titled:
A Talented Author and Her Humble Environmental Blog
We hope that you approve,
Rich
I feel very honored. Thanks for the feature.

I have a proposal for you, may I contact you via email for feedback?

Our blogs share a lot in common. We should share links: http://www.maxgladwell.com (rob at maxgladwell.com)
Hi there,
Just spotted your comment about our debate with the London Mayor candidates, over at http://www.yoosk.com
As it happens, Yoosk is very interested to talk to other organisations about partner opportunities. This has included, already, discussions with many regional media (in the UK) and a discussion with a possible leading climate change discussion site.
If you’d like to talk more or share thoughts, drop me a note and I’ll forward you on the details of the two guys running the site.
And do consider if you’d like to suggest your own debates for the site (if that’s of interest and if you can get notables over to talk; and/or take part in a discussion we might run in future).
The http://www.yoosk.com is only the main portal or showcase, btw, being amended all the time. There are lots of offshoots and other projects … all done on a shoestring, of course

Thanks Nick. Your partner Tim has also joined conversation under post I devoted on yoosk specifically. May I suggest we keep the discussion all in one place?
Margeurite,
I saw your comment reposted on Cleantech Blog this morning:
“My experience of the green business people around me, is that they tend to be very engaged in real life networking, and not so much in virtual networks.”
OMG, green business people are actually talking to other people! This must be stopped immediately, lest Web 2.0 whither and die!
I was thinking about building a little animation of a windmill that people could get on MySpace, or Xing, or (my favorite), LinkedIn, and then I calculated how much energy would be produced if we could get millions and millions of the little buggers up and running, and the answer was….zero.
Einstein was right, Energy Has Mass. And it takes a lot of mass to make it, and to distribute it, and to use it. And that takes real people, doing real work, installing real hardware.
So don’t despair. Maybe the Greens are on to something.
Wonderful work – from a fellow writer on sustainable living.

You tube seem to have dumped your great clip on disarming the climate change sceptics with Pascal’s Wager argument. Do you have a copy- it would be a good intro to a transition town debate. thanks.R
Marguerite, I appreciate the quality of your blog. I thought you would benefit from a project I’ve been working on at Debatepedia with the UN Foundation. We’ve developed a Global Warming Solutions Debate Series with over twenty pro/con articles on public debates regarding approaches to solving global warming (ie. wind, solar, tide, geothermal, electric cars, nuclear…). We hope you and your community likes it:

Marguerite, I just returned from a 10-day trip to Honduras with Sustainable Harvest International. That small organization with a relatively small staff that accounts for only 8 percent of the organization’s expenditures is doing a fantastic job helping the rural areas of Honduras diversify crops and re-forest the denuded mountains of the country. The people on the ground demonstrated a dedication and grasp of both the problems and possible solutions that I found worthy of Nobel prize recognition. The leadership of our small world tour by an employee of SHI was first-rate. We worked, we learned, we contributed. If there is truly a way to help the impoverished developing world, SHI holds the key. Margaret Crenshaw
Can you give a shout out for the 53-second humorous and informative green video we made to encourage The City University of New York community to go green? You can find it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEnCrkhbcL0
Thanks!
Greetings,
The European Journalism Centre (EJC) would like to invite you to apply for the second round of the acclaimed blogging competition, TH!NK ABOUT IT. We have seen your blog and consider you an ideal candidate for the competition, TH!NK2: Climate Change.
TH!NK2 will bring together 81 bloggers from Europe with guests from India, China, Brazil and the US, to exchange ideas and debate the issues of the International Climate Summit in Copenhagen, in December 2009. The blogging competition will run from September 23 to December 20 and will begin with a launch event in Copenhagen in September. During their free trip to Copenhagen, participants will meet each other, receive some training and equipment and learn about the hottest topics in climate change.
If you are selected to come to Copenhagen in September you will receive a Flip Mino HD Camera. You will also have the opportunity to win many other prizes throughout the competition.
As a participant, you are encouraged to blog about climate change related topics in your own back yard; to bring out the local side of a global issue.
To participate in the competition, please go to http://www.thinkaboutit.eu, where you can read more about TH!NK2 and fill out the application form and attach a current resume/CV as well as a letter of motivation (250 words max).
