SunChips and National Geographic have joined forces to create the Green Effect, an initiative to inspire people to take small steps for big change.
They will award $20,000 each to five people or groups that have compelling ideas for green change in their communities. More details about the contest here.
Well, as for me I don’t need a price to do something about the environment. I will continue recycling papers, and perhaps encourage my friends to do the same.
Yesterday I blogged about Twitter Wit, which is book compilation of the wittiest wits in Twitter, edited by a freelance author from San Francisco. Read Entry Here.
And now, I have discovered yet another Twitter e-book entitled The Reason Your Church Must Twitter, which was released in January 2009, authored by church technology evangelist Anthony Coppedge.
If you’re a pastor, student minister, or involved with some type of ministry, your first reaction to such a resource title is probably something along the lines of “Awesome, I need to read this”. Others who don’t follow the “faith” probably see such a book as one more tool to promote evangelism through a social network. I understand both possible reactions, but what’s unique about this book is though it was written “for” churches, it’s not your typical “church” resource. This book would easily serve as a tool for any individual or business who would like to know more about Twitter and learn how to get started.
I honestly haven’t read the e-book but let me quote from previous review. Read More.
Leadership is important to Anthony. I don’t know that personally, but it’s clear within the book how much he values good and effective leadership, as well as the role of the church pastor. The book devotes an entire chapter to pastors and leaders and explains how effective Twitter could make them with not only their congregation, but with their staff and volunteers.
