Ban Ki-moon: Worlds economic model is environmental suicide | Environment | guardian.co.uk.
The Secretary-General of the UN, Ban Ki-Moon said at Davos that “we need a revolution” to create a sustainable future. He’s not the only one to know that, and it’s good to see people at the top of the UN talking sense about speed and scale.
I guess then, that it’s time to stoke up the fires at the Do camp and getting our heads around the scale of shift that we can initiate when we push together, focused on the same direction. As a start point, Matt Hart from Do 10 and a bunch of us at TYF are shaping up a plan to breath some oxygen onto fresh sparks, by teaching the spirit of Do to 100,000 school pupils in the the next 18 months, face to face. On the way, we’ll teach them innovation 101 and give them a few real time business and social challenges to get stuck into.
If you can help us, drop by.

Hi Andy,
This sounds great – we’d love to be involved.
Bid and Borrow is a new green website that promotes sustainable reuse. The website is a bit like ebay for
borrowing and is a new, innovative way to share resources with our neighbours and local community through lending and borrowing rather than buying.
For example, if you wanted to borrow a blow up mattress for the weekend, the website connects you with someone in our community that has one to lend.
Please do have a look at the website – http://www.bidandborrow.com.
We are part of the global movement Collaborative Consumption- http://www.collaborativeconsumption.com/
We’re looking to set up Sharing Networks for Schools to enable them to pool resources.
Let us know how we can be more involved,
Many thanks,
Becca Thomas
