[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> ecology and the Internet


I am still working on that paper I have been assigned on the Internet and
Virtual Communities functioning as a public sphere of civic reinforcement
and mobilization.
I have gathered a number of successful examples - which I will publish at
nettime when the paper is complete. However, I was wondering if any of you
netizens could inform me on any environment-oriented (ecological)
initiatives effectuated through the Internet. It is a topic of great
interest and I would like to present a case-study of this type to my
audience.
