No need for a celebrity
#itshappening is a shiny post page from 10:10 full of inspiring images and stories of people creating a brighter low-carbon future. None of the photos are depressing, or full of grumpy people, - everything is positive and happy. Which is a very smart decision as new research suggests that photos of climate impacts or celebs fair worse when motivating people to action, compared to photos...

Rio+Social is big, but does it hit the mark?
Rio+Social took place today, just before Rio+20 gets underway. It was an event for social media nuts to discuss its power when it comes to sustainable development issues. All well and good, but with Rio+20 starting tomorrow, could it do more?

Your History →
Facebook Timeline, loads of people don’t get it - but for organisations it’s a tool to not only show your history but the movements history. Stonewall’s Facebook timeline easily shows the history of gay rights and campaigning within the UK since 1989
