The following series of tweets was sent out on January 7, 2014 (3:30 pm), as part of outreach for Tipping Point Action: Citizen Participation in Times of Unprecedented Challenges.
Three comments:
1) There are now only 3 series of tweets being used for Tipping Point Action outreach--3 series which reinforce the key points of unprecedented challenges associated with Global Warming, the potential of Community Visioning Initiatives, and the potential of Neighborhood Learning Centers.
2) This series of tweets below brought forward a new addition to the tweet series, the following "triplet":
Gandhi:“The satisfaction of one's physical needs must come at a certain point to a dead stop before it degenerates into physical decadence.”
Many people don't understand wisdom of Gandhi (in previous tweet)--and their help will be needed to avoid disastrous global warming outcomes
Halting runaway global warming=Whole cultures need to find contentment and quality of life using much less materials goods and ecological services
These brief comments provide a glimpse of the core argument (for "Why the Sense of Urgency?")in a new outreach piece "Open Letter to Green Party Representatives (Subject: Tipping Point Action Campaign)". (see Tipping Point Action section and Letters... section for the text.
3) This particular series focused on sharing information about the "Open Letter..." to a category of Twitter members I'm following which I call: "Environmental Organizations and Campaigners".

The ways we “invest” our time, energy, and money have a direct impact on the ways of earning a
living that are available.
Job fairs at end of visioning=opportunities for residents/key stakeholders to demonstrate new awareness, create new employment opportunities
