It’s Time To Change The World You may have a heroic social and/or environmental proposal to change the world; to make our earth a little bit better.  Where do you start?  How do you spread the word so that everyone, globally, can take part in the change you are initiating?  Yes, there is Facebook and Twitter.  You may even have your own website to share your vision.  Is this adequate in today’s cyber cafe? Two of my earlier blog posts (The Big Green Bus and Christopher Swain) are just two of the many social and environmental eco-Agents identified on the Changents website.  Changents  “connects Agents of Change with a fan base of ‘Backers’ around the world, enabling them to create change together.”  The best part about Changents is that it brings global awareness about uniquely fascinating people and their do-good actions.  Combining storytelling and social networking, Changents, partnered with Timberland and EarthKeepers , promotes these praiseworthy environmental ambassadors (and their adventures) in the hopes of gathering supporters from around the globe. So how does it work?  To start, you can nominate a “Change Agent” (meaning yourself, a person you know, a group of people, etc) or if you don’t have a nomination to share, but feel the do-good itch, you can visit the Take Action  page and search through the myriad of action requests.  For example, two of Changents’ many environmental stewards, Sami Nerenberg & Nate Bastien, are requesting people to try to find lead in your home .  Other  agents who are looking for some support are: Colin McCullough,  requesting backers to support and “ follow our progress as we journey across the U.S. filming an eco-video series for kids about renewable energy and sustainable living, done by a kid!” Dorothy Royal-Hedinger  who is exploring America’s sustainable Food landscape.   Just say you want to locate a Change Agent in your community?  No problem.  The Changents’ site clearly provides the option to focus by area (disaster, environment, energy) or location. Here at Earth Promise, we believe this broadcasting of social change combined with environmental awareness is the key to a better world.  “We’re in this together. Let’s start right now.” Tags: agents, carbon footprint, change, Changents, changes, christopher swain, clean water, climate change, colin mccullough, dorothy royal hedinger, earth, earth promise, earthkeepers, earthpromise, eco-friendly, energy, environment, environmental, environmental footprint, environmental issues, global warming, green, green challenge, green changes, green future, green living, green practice, green practices, green revolution, green tips, organic, recycle, reduce, reuse, The Big Green Bus
