I’m pleased to say that from this week I’ll be starting some volunteer work for the SPCA in King Williams Town. They in need of some IT assistance, training and social media guidance which I’ll be helping them with over the next few weeks.
I am very pleased to be able to help and look forward to working with the Team.
Something has been gnawing at me for awhile now. How to make people more aware of fundamental issues like the environment, conservation and related issues. There are certainly many organisations doing great work out there and also do a great job of getting the message out, but the reality is that the vast majority of people still do not stop and take the time to find out about what is going. To just read a blog post, to think about the impact of which tin of tuna or the piece of clothing they buy.
Quite often, change can happen just be getting enough people aware of what is going on. Hugh’s Fish Fight is a great example of this. Once people heard about it, saw what was happening, there was a large enough shift in thinking for corporates and governments, they stopped, took notice and importantly changed for the good.

For those following my identi.ca, Google + or Twitter feeds you’ll have been a little inundated today with some news. Apologies for that, I been focused on getting a new project off the ground this past week and half and have neglected some important news I’d like to share from various sources like Greenpeace. (Summary here)
On the new project, I’ll be able to share some more news on that over the next two weeks. I’ll write about it here and update folks via social media (see links above) as always.
All the best
Brendan
