Nice to "meet" you Maurice. I found out about the call a bit late- and work in conservation-restoration- a positive assist for "saving the world" though, truly, we can only really help ourselves. I am also a "Sustainable Ambassador" through Sustainable Tucson and head up Habitat Restoration, and am a writer-artist-poet to reduce harm- "A Poet with a Purpose" who puts words into action, and it is powerful indeed, literally. Have some interviews on podcasts and essays in a national pub, and an international interview coming soon, and have habitat restoration projects nationally, too.

Good morning Suzanne, may I suggest that the call is already out there., you have 175 ambassadors already. Clearly there is an appetite. Feed them your ideas, particularly now, and ask for theirs - on strengthening further dissemination. Emphasizing Mutual Care as the Key. Some of the essays mention real public figures as having "done" their bit. How can we reach those figures ?, who amongst us have the means to contact them ? Would they accept a stakeholder role ? How many media hosts would interview them ?

Food for thought about organizing. I had ideas of my own before I invited people to share theirs in my essay contest you've been so supportive of. A basic one is a Coalition of People for the Good: Huge masses become signatory to being in a coalition of like-minded people whose purpose is to shift our paradigm. It would be a force, like taking to the streets but easier, to shift to where caring for each other is as important as caring about ourselves.

That could be for individuals and also all the organizations dealing with this shift we need! But it needs a strong call that would have to be thought-out to make it into the powerful entity it could be.
