Hi George - thanks for sharing these terrific links. For those in the course interested in the personal development aspect of sustainability, the "personal manifesto" would make a great project.

A manifesto could also be a useful tool for people in other projects seeking a way to document what they're doing.

Let's put out a call to individuals interested in forming a citizen circle with you to take this on as a sustainability project in the Studio.

- Chris

For the personal development project, some early resources are available at http://edpath.typepad.com/happiness/: "happiness: a blog about being healthy, self-sufficient, purposeful and loving."

The first assignment for this "happiness" project is for you to write your personal "Manifesto." For an example, see http://edpath.typepad.com/happiness/2010/12/whats-your-manifesto.html.
