Thank you very much for the publicity to our project. We are often asked what on earth we are doing in a virtual platform, when there is SO MUCH that needs to be done in our real (first world).

Certainly, don’t we have more to loose if we DON’T participate in a global internet revolution of participatory media and immersive experience?

We look forward to use the collaborative and innovative spirit of SL to solve challenges in sustainable ways.
