A Desire To Communicate

Posted February 1st, 2010 by Sarah Hay | Comments (24)

Dr. Ron Burnett, President of Emily Carr University, and former teacher of mine shares his optimistic view of the Literate Future:

“The beauty of language is its flexibility and adaptability. The various modes of conversation to which we have become accustomed over centuries have a textured and rich quality that depends on our desire to communicate. That desire crosses nearly every cultural and political boundary on this shrinking earth. Rather than worry about whether text messaging will undermine literacy, we need to examine how to use all of the new modalities of communications now available to us to enhance the relationships we have with each other. That is the real challenge, quality of exchange, what we say and why and how all of that translates into modes of expression that can be understood and analyzed.”

What I take away from his closing paragraph is by simply having an open mind to our now multi modal existence, we may be able to better cherish and appreciate conversations, share knowledge and strengthen relationships; that the real challenge is to not waste our time and energy with mindless distraction. After all, feeling connected to family, friends and communities is the top sustainability issue for North Americans. Today, there have never been more ways to stay connected with one another.

I will be posting here more frequently, and am looking forward to it. Garnering information from multiple channels – feeds, tweets, newspapers, blogs and the SHIFT Report findings – to record and support the cultural shift to sustainability. It is happening, friends.

This is one the most significant features that makes 0footprint
unique. Raising awareness is not enough at this critical juncture in
human history. We must commit to change. 0footprint will help people
meet this commitment. We take small ideas that can have a huge positive
impact on our footprint and transform them into ccie certification challenges, basically
simple workable solutions that everyone can use day-to-day. The more
people who participate in 0footprint Challenges the more we can engage
in sustainable commerce and ccnp trainingachieve ecological sustainability.We believe that although there are 100 million+ people who havetremendous goodwill towards the environment, most of these people feel
powerless to make a change in our cissp certification training environmental impact. “Small ideas
that can change the world” aims to change that. It is designed to make
individuals aware of the tremendous impact that a simple idea can have.
We use the word “small” to denote both simple and one that does not
make a material change to one’s quality of life.
We have designed these ideas around everyday life. Individuals that
participate become part of a large group who, by making simple changes
in their behavior, just living more ingeniously, maintain a high
quality of life but have a massive impact on the sustainability of our
system.
