Green Volunteers
This is meant to be a clearinghouse of environmental volunteering opportunities. Organizations can post the positions they have open; individuals can describe the kind of volunteer work they'd like to do. Hopefully, both groups will meet up.

More news of Poo peeps. There was a great interview on N.P.R (National Public Radio for our friends to the north and south) from BBC about the new trend in fertilizer. That's right Guys...... Human waste as fertilizer. Now just to clarify I DON'T mean the kinda stuff that the Granola heads are doing with dry composting toilets but rather a great new addition of the huge problem of sewage treatment. It appears that after it has been treated what is left over, from the huge amount of poo and pee we generate each day, makes excellent fertilizer that is 99% sterile (that's the same as the organic fertilizer the granola heads tout.)
Now there does appear to be one small drawback..... It stinks. A problem that is easily rectified by immediately turning it into the soil according to one British farmer that uses it. It's so popular with brit farmers that apparently the waste treatment plants have sold all they have on hand this season....But the real problem appears to be us. The stigma attached to human waste is huge. Well for me pile it on them tomatos I got no issue with it....
world without end,

I just watched this great video in which activists helped a business improve its revenue while becoming more energy efficient. You can watch the video here, and I highly recommend you do. The group is called Carrotmob ("carrot," as in using carrots and not sticks). They're also hiring and looking for volutneers. Read More »
I realize there's not a lot happening on the Green Jobs and Green Volunteers groups. I would encourage you to be patient with these groups. Their success and usefulness depend on a large membership, which we have yet to achieve. Hopefully, that will change with time. The We community in general is just getting started and still growing.
I'm looking for a volunteer opportunity in the Toronto area that will address global warming.
