How to help

Help out with what interests you most As and when you can, and always at your own pace. File:FarmersMarketWM64.jpg help by linking things up checking for updates, checking external links, spelling and punctuation “Everyone brings their crumbs of knowledge to the task and if they don’t, we’re the lesser for it.” Sue Gardner, Wikimedia Foundation Play and have fun! File:Poole74-000.jpg Use the sandbox to play, experiment, test things out. Most of all - Enjoy, have fun !! - and please contribute something. Share information about . . . Places Where you live, work or visit, from local communities to countries, continents and the planet itself, or just somewhere you know about or are interested in. What information might be relevant to quality of life or wellbeing in each area? What challenges or opportunities are there? A good way to start an article is to see if there's an article about the place in Wikipedia, which you can adapt to include material relevant to sustainability. Or just build up a list of relevant links. Projects and networks Share information about any sustainability projects or networks you may be involved with or know about. If you're unsure what information to include, just imagine you're wanting to learn about other projects. What information would you find useful?

Sustainable community action place articles

can include the following elements

• Sustainability initiatives, which generally concern themselves with more than a single issue or topic. For example initiatives that seek to promote all or several aspects of environmental, social and economic wellbeing
• Initiatives by topic (see more below)
• Resources, available locally or concerning the locality, including links to more extensive information, video, maps, infographics, apps for sustainability, social media links, research, funding information, etc.
• Events, but please bear in mind that these should be only those that are likely to be of interest to local community groups or active citizens interested in sustainable community action. Ordinarily they should only be free or low cost events.
• News and comment, or timeline information. Brief or headline type summaries with links to sources.
• More localised information, for example within a page about a country there may some further information about cities within that country.

The current list of proposed place articles is on Sustainable community action/places merge log. An example of a fairly extensively developed sustainable community action place article is Bristol, but of course place articles can be started off with just a few items of relevant information.

Sustainable community action topic articles

These generally provide a list of actions or project ideas which communties can take or develop, and links to Resources. The articles might also include news and comment, or timeline sections. They include information about topics from a global or generic perspective which can provide a context for more localised information within the place based articles.

Sustainable community action resource articles

Including links to more extensive information, calendars, video, maps, infographics, apps for sustainability, social media links, research, funding information, etc.
