How to become a correspondent

Everyone is welcome to post articles at * Share News *

If you have a long-term interest in building this campaign, then please consider signing up as a volunteer correspondent.  It’s encouraging to know that people from different parts of the world, with different interests, are inspired to share good news for the Earth with others.

To begin, just start posting news stories here on the website,  or send a friend request to us at our Facebook page, GoodNews FortheEarth and begin posting there.

After you’ve had a chance to practice, write us at info@goodnewsfortheearth.org, or message us on Facebook, and then we’ll correspond a bit about what categories of news and/or geographic areas you might want to specialize in, what sources we know about for those categories, etc.  Getting to know each other like this is part of the good news process.

As this campaign grows, people may want to branch out and create their own independent and more specialized websites, such as Africa-Permaculture, or Europe-GMOs.  Eventually the concept of good news for the Earth will spread so broadly that we will be seeing websites like Cairo-Community Gardens.

You have the chance to be in at the beginning.   “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.”
