10. But why do we need WiserEarth?
• One million + organizations and millions of people around
the world actively working toward ecological
sustainability and social equality - issues that are
systemically interconnected and intertwined.
• Our effectiveness to prevent harm and institute positive
change undermined by our lack of collective awareness,
the duplication of efforts, and poor connectivity.
• What is missing is a map and directory of this network,
one that includes the necessary resources for
communication and cooperation; in essence, an
infrastructure through which to coordinate our efforts.
•
• WiserEarth.org provides this infrastructure
