When a Pandemic strikes sometimes we need everyones participation, not only doctors. We need to spread information and help others reach safety. My idea would be to create a network of people with specific tasks to ensure the safety of people during a pandemic. They would people of who know each other, perhaps neighbors, members of a church, etc. They would be people with specific knowledge of certain areas.
For example:
My friend Lisa works directly with American Red…

In my town, Wayne, NJ, and surrounding towns face terrible flooding caused by the Passaic River Basin and Pompton River. While these floods are not as catastrophic as those in southern United States, they do millions dollars in damage. Residences are forced out of their homes and having to pay for damaged items ( those who don't have flood insurance). Floods are devastating no matter where they are, and they take a deep financial toll on people. Flooding hasn't stopped for many years, and I…

My dearest friends,
My message to you is important for our earth and our people. We live in a world with steel, and wire. Our earth is all but changed and we no longer put our feet on the ground. We live in the sky now. Have we lost touch with the earth? What about the trees, the pants, the animals, the water? We have forgotten about them. They have become our lost children. We must not let this happen. It is important to reconnect with them. They still have the power to nurture us.…

My apologies for being so late on this. I took some time off to just refresh my brain. This part of this mission was hard for me. However, I think I have something, at least I believe I do. I hope i did this correctly.
It was hard to come up with something that represented indigenous knowledge. Upon doing research, and reading links, I came across a unique topic that dealt with farming. In Bolivia, farmers in the Amazon have a difficult time dealing with floods during the wet…

The objective was to read about case studies on environmental issues and how local communities are needed in ensuring that resources are protected. I went to Community Based Resource Management site and very carefully looked at their case studies. I was pretty specific at what I wanted to study. I know case studies are from 70 different countries,but I was particularly interested in Africa.
My knowledge of Africa is the various issues of conservation and de-forestation. A lot of…

The five secrets for Crisis Networking were interesting. Most of them were pretty logical and they were things I've heard talked about before. One secret stood out the most; and that was Coming to Terms with Uncertainty. I think being uncertain is what fuels a lot of the fear and the panic in people no matter what they do. Not having knowledge of what is happening and what is going to happen sparks many problems during crisis. The question was how to we do deal with it without causing anymore…

The goals of the Evoke Network is simple: to act. to create. to share. The Evoke Network is a team of creative people with a profound desire to make the world a better place. We, the members, all come together with a passion to do good. That's what drives the network. Without passion, or desire, there is no pro-active change. The Evoke Network is here for that, and so are the team members who work under it.

I did not do exactly what the template wanted, but i did split the script into panels. I figure that powers that be can adjust it to their liking.. if they like this.

I think the next topic we should conquer is education, or lack there of. This is pretty broad but many children through out the world have no education. Some countries with a wealth of information and resource have poor education. Crazy, isn't it?
This topic is very tricky, but more simply, I am talking about ensuring every child around the world get a great education. Some of the poorest countries in the world have no education systems, and with no education system a child is left…
