Achieving sustainable development is the most important challenge facing all humans on this planet today.  Collectively we are living in a very unsustainable manner.  There are so many factors involved that we need to attempt to approach the situation from all angles; from a whole systems approach.  This means considering the economic factors, the cultural and societal factors, the political factors, the environmental factors, and of course present and future human needs.

Hello all! Here's a request that goes out to YOU with your many eyes and ears in the community. Having been in contact with organizations since 1999 to post their events and get them out and in the public eye, we have a pretty good track record so far. Of course there are always new organizers, new environmentally friendly events being dreamed up and many many more things happening than even we can keep our ear to the ground. Help is needed. If you know of an environmentally minded event that raises dialogue or awareness about a particular issue or encourages people to take a positive action, feel free to post it here on this website. OR, send the link to the organizer and reccommend our site to them using word-of-mouth publicity. If you let an organizer know that you would love to be reading their events on The Dirt! it sometimes can carry a lot more weight.  Best wishes, and thanks for your support. Laura B. Nobel
