It’s been a blast canvassing the grounds of Swarthmore College. The school is known for it’s green awareness and houses some heavy hitting environmentalist groups such as Earth Lust who worked hard and got their school to buy 35% of their energy from a windmill company.
With the help of Community Activist Carol Burnett of the Delco Alliance we were able to collect 132 pledges! Carol and I enjoyed our time with the freshmen that were excited and ready to support the need for Clean Energy, Green Jobs and Cleaner Politics. And to bring more fun to the process we took some pictures to add a face to some of the names. We’re even in the process of creating a thank you slash infomercial video to pull in support across the digital world. Check out the virtual PLEDGEWALL we created to show the power of a collective voice. And the coolest thing about it all is that this wall can only get taller with every new pledge.
Other news is that 17 pledgers are interested in volunteering and many more of them wanted to learn more about upcoming events. Our next stop is Widener University. Right in my hometown so it means a lot to canvass here. They know just how important it is to see a greener Chester as well as the need for Green Jobs and Green Careers to come to this city. It’s a small city with BIG environmental problems. More victories for this city are in the works 
No matter how big or small the challenge change shall come because EVERY VOICE COUNTS!
Peace,
DG

Desire- you are amazing! How did you create the virtual pledge wall? I am very interested in doing the same and think it’s a great tool for more of us to use. Keep on keeping on
Hey Marie,
*blushing I’m not that amazing trust
I created the virtual wall using three Adobe programs. Photoshop, Image Ready and Dreamweaver. You can first lay everything out using Photoshop and create a Slice Map of your layout then you transfer it into Image Ready where you save it as a webpage and then last you turn every picture into a button using Dreamweaver.
Maybe when I get a chance I can give more details about each step. But I’m happy you dig it
Peace,
DG
As a student there, I can say with certainty that Swarthmore, a school of 1500 people, is not a university but a college. Swarthmore College.
And Earthlust rocks!
