Who?

CASwiki is for, and can be by, anyone and everyone interested in sustainability, but especially ordinary people and community groups.

Sustainability isn't just something for experts. It's about everyone's quality of life and we all have a part to play. Community involvement, inclusion and empowerment are seen here as an integral part of sustainability.

It's also about joining up or networking and collaboration. / Join our community

Where?

CASwiki aims to link up community and personal action for sustainability worldwide.

Local, personal and global - It's about local sustainability - any size area from local community to the whole planet, but in a way which interconnects the personal and the global.

When?

Now. This stuff matters. Some would say it's urgent. If you can help, do it now. Your planetary community needs you!

We began 6/12/04, but there's massive potential for further development.

How and why?

"Only connect"

Joining up - the highly interlinked nature of the wiki can be especially useful in developing holistic or integrated awareness.

To help with seeing the bigger picture, articles which provide an overview or summary can be especially useful. / Why grow community action for sustainability?

Sharing is good. Share YOUR knowledge - so's those of us interested in local sustainability don't have to keep reinventing the wheel. Together we're stronger. The more sustainability information we share, the more we all benefit.
