Network of advisors

I haven't blogged much, because I've been spending most of my time coding. But other things are happening, too. Among them, I've recruited some great people to be advisors to the 2People project. I'm really grateful to have these people involved:

John Fitzgerald: Former senior counsel at Defenders of Wildlife, John is a public interest lawyer with extensive experience working with the US Government, multilateral development institutions, and NGOs. John and I met at last spring's CERES conference and finished each other's sentences.

Billy Parish: Founder and Executive Director of the Climate Campaign , and Coordinator for Energy Action. Billy has focused on coalition-building within the youth movement and developing new climate leaders by organizing conferences, trainings and tours. Billy is a dynamo of youth activism. We met at the DC fast.

Linda Plano: Associate Director at the Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center. A veteran of high tech industry, Linda helped found the Energy Special Interest Group at the MIT Enterprise Forum and was a Visiting Scholar at the Laboratory for Energy and the Environment, among other things. I am awed at Linda's willingness to talk about 2People everywhere she goes.

Ron Sandler: Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Northeastern University, Ron is a scholar of environmental ethics and technology. He is a senior investigator at Northeastern's Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing, where he does research on the ethical implications of nanotechnology. Ron is the one who told me about the amazing MetroQuest simulation tool.

Leith Sharp: Director of Harvard University's official sustainability program, the Harvard Green Campus Initiative . After only four years, HGCI has achieved over $1 million per year of savings, and annual reductions of over 20 million pounds of CO2 equivalent. Leith is a role model for getting things done.
