Learning stages...and need input!
I've neglected this page far too long. After speaking with Derek on Facebook and the myriad of things that have happened in the course of this new year - it is time for me to look elsewhere for people not just wanting real change...but creating that change.
Slacktivism is dead...there are many things going on for Haitian relief in Indianapolis and I am proud to know the people trying to make this happen. This undertaking is about being world citizens - people whose hearts are in it, not just their mouths.
I have learned a lot of social media ins/outs and can help spread the word for those organizations who are worthy of that through my outlets, which I am willing to share. The Road Home Music Project is preparing an online radio hour (hopeful for more time slots) to share local music with a message and to get the word out about the fine work of people like Derek, A Greener Indiana, KIB and other non-profits and charitable organizations.
The benefit concert is scheduled for February 28th - after this event, I am attending a protest in Washington DC to end the war/occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and take photos of what I feel will be a historic march - people are very frustrated with Congress and their decision this past week, health care, unemployment and the environment. I'm certain many will show up in DC to have their voices heard for many issues. I would like to invite anyone that would be interested in attending to email me directly at agoldenpromise@gmail.com. If a group bands together on behalf of Indiana's finest organizers, I believe it would be a fitting story to tell and capture on film.
I've always tried to teach what I know to others, although, I admit my experience is intermediate with green technology at best. I'm here to learn as much as I can to pass on to others. People are hungry for this knowledge but may not have the time to research, I'd like to deliver it where I am able in the future - with The Road Home Radio Hour and my writings.
Current nightstand reading:
Eco Nest / Creating Sustainable Sanctuaries
Plants, Power and Profit
American Indian Environmental Ethics / An Ojibwa case study
(also reading a lot about Quantum Physics, music and sound therapy)
Any information is welcomed - share what you know and ask questions!
Thank you for your time!
Namaste,
Gabrielle

Hello, I'm Nova
I have been running an alternative energy myspace site for about 7 yrs now.
I came across this site when the owner added me as a friend. I am very excited about this site. For now most of my stuff is on myspace. I will be trying to move alot of the info. to this site over the next few days. I finally sprused up my page to look like something I would be running. So hopefully people like it when they visit. Hope to see ya on there and Have a great day.Spread the word out if you can.
Your friend,
Nova
What are your strong points in environmental awareness? Is there a particular arena or field we could help empower you with? AGI has a staff that is able to offer full support and assistance that environmental work and issues, community and economic development, advertising, promotions, web design, and programming. Have a question or a request. Dont hesitate.
The idea here is to support you in helping to support communities and Indiana as a whole to make the change over to more sustainable practices and equilibrium.
Besides the resource based environmental arenas of: Land, Water, Air, Energy, Policy, and Advocacy. There are many other fields that are interconnected to sustainabiity including recreation, health/wellness, agriculture, community development, economic development, products, arts, and humanities.
You can share your awareness and activities in any of the above through many facets this site offers and will soon offer. Chat around, friend up like minded individuals, post, blog, make groups, are just some of the ways in which you may interact and utilize this site to tool your work and passions.
We are all in this together and together we can help make things better.
Kootoss to you for participating in this great work.
