From my blog Milestones for a New Millennium
From the site The Obama campaign owes its victory not to a single charismatic candidate, but to the efforts of a disciplined and motivated organization whose roots go back to landmark movements of the 1960s. Marshall Ganz, who cut his teeth on civil rights work and with Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers, describes how the principles and practices he learned around organizing and leadership played out in the most recent presidential election.
From the site: "McKibben credits NASA climatologist Jim Hansen with deriving "the most important number in the world" - the tolerable carbon level allowing survival of life on earth, now recognized as 350 parts-per-million maximum. Trouble is, we're already past that sustainability point, owing to rampant fossil fuel combustion. We face "not a problem for your grandchildren to solve...it's a problem for your parents to have solved." Deals with the 7th Millennium Development Goal, maybe not explicitly but its scope is global and its impact will be for the next millenium depending upon how we act today.
from the site; Social media continues to grow globally in terms of adoption, usage, interest and impact in a massive way. It's undeniably changing the way that content and information work particularly in terms of the publishing of consumer opinion. This has transformed the way that consumers relate to brands and the way that brands should operate, driving direct interaction, transparency and a more consultative approach.
