Welcome to CrowdShift!

CrowdShift is a blog and social networking experiment for the sustainability community. Along with blogposts about happenings in sustainability-dom, Crowdshift has an interactive event calendar, forums for discussions about things like blogposts, Town Hall meetings, and ongoing research projects. This is a great place to post Calls for Papers, links to interesting articles, and commentary on sustainability issues.

While we hope this site will become the go-to spot for the SOS community and we have created private forums within the site for just SOS, we also hope CrowdShift's popularity will grow and that people outside of SOS and ASU will start to use this site for sustainability discovery and inspiration.

Suggestions, comments, complaints and blog posts are welcome. Please send all such communications to CrowdShift@gmail.com.

-Ben, Andrea, Zach, Maren and RJ

True sustainability needs an ethical revolution

Ethics is the most integral aspect of the concept of sustainability, and it seems to keep getting plundered or eluded under the weight of society's allegiance to technological innovativeness as means to some kind of "end" characterized as "sustainable." Authors Nelson & Vucetich argue in "The Ecologist" online that in order for sustainability to be meaningful, in the sense that the essence of its definition(s) indicate(s), it must (re)emerge - be (re)framed - as an actionable and pragmatic… Continue

Sweden starts an American sustainability experiment

Perhaps every group of people interested in sustainability should follow Sweden's example and help mentor families in their sustainability practices. The following Post article details how Sweden has adopted 4 Northern Virginian families and is helping them with energy choices and consumption practices. If we want to make sustainability real, this is one way to put theory and research into action. Way to go Sweden for giving it a try! If a Nation can do it, you think Universities and schools… Continue

My First Turkey-Free Thanksgiving

I just enjoyed my first Turkey-Free Thanksgiving. No, I did not have Tofurkey (which may or may not be an abomination of nature). Just good old stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, cornbread and cranberry sauce. Ok, ok, and some turkey gravy. Is that moral flip flopping? Maybe. I'll get to that later though.



This transition from a conscientious omnivorism to vegetarianism is a recent and long development for me. I thought it might be worthwhile to reflect on this for my own… Continue

Science, ClimateGate and Hope

If you haven't heard yet, you should get out of your finals cave and update yourself on ClimateGate. In brief, e-mails at the Climate Research Unit (CRU) a the University of East Anglia were hacked. The e-mails show climate scientists discussing their data, how to present it and which (skeptical) papers not to publish. Even if you still believe that the science is sound and justifies… Continue
