Testimonials

I was recently elected as Public Relations and Communications Chair of the non-profit environmental advocacy group, Rock the Earth. I am not sure if you heard about us? rocktheearth.org. Anyhow, thought you are a pretty neat guy for what you do, and wondering if we might be able to collaborate somehow.

A Passion for Change...
I've had the pleasure of getting to know Willi over the past several months. He is a terrific writer, interviewer and advocate for the green/sustainability space. His concept of "Planet Shifting" is dead on and I hope that others will want to learn from him as I have.

Any assistance within your arena would be greatly appreciated. I see your title is Art and Sustainability Consultant. I spoke of this merger to a group of artists just this past Friday night. Great symmetry.

I find great merit in what you're doing and would be open to finding common topical interests….

Hi Will, I always read your blogs when I am on Cooltribe.com and generally they are upbeat with interesting interviews. However, this last blog was sad. Yes, greenies have got a hard time at the moment but we need to keep up the hard work. Come on Will, continue your good work.

In reading your profile I'm glad you wanted to connect. We have a lot in common. I'm taking over tonight as president of Sustainable Novato and we are working in our community on many of the same projects you have worked on as well. I will keep up with your blog and keep current with what you are doing. Thanks for being a resource. I'm very interested in your ideas on changing behaviors for our survival.

I received LinkedIn Enviu newsletter, linked to your 'Trickle Down ...' article. Can relate to that. Not that I've been there but, but the scene you described is familiar to me. Einstein -> old ways of thinking/doing. So, old systems dying down. And this is why I felt the urge to email you: First: I feel connected: you're engaged in social innovation, sustainability and shifts as well. Second: you making 'art' as essential factor of change explicit. Always felt that art and (independent) press are missing element in many types of social systems (especially for-profit companies). Third: your references to Wilber (whose Integral Theory, and with a.o. Don Beck Spiral Dynamics Integral is one of my sources of knowledge, inspiration and tools) and Goldsworthy (together with Vigeland my poignant sculpture artists). A part Goldworthy's snow sculpture is my logo. To me, it capture so many ideas, principles, phenomena, processes.

I find hope in the indomitable spirit within all of us. Some expressing that more than others, to be sure, but there are so many amazing and talented people coming forth at this time who are interested in the greater good, in shifting mass consciousness, environmental awareness, and so forth. I checked out your web site, it looks like this is what it is all about. I am a creative/design professional and my only comment would be that when I land there, I am not sure what the main objective is. Most people will leave within 4 seconds, so it's important to get your reason for being across asap.

Willi, Hi. I am really enjoying all the great interviews and beautiful art on your website. Are you interested being invited to a community discussion on sustainability or in pulling together an audience to have this discussion?

Reading your thread comments as they come in. Whew what a Pandora's box you opened. You are a very brave man! ;-D lol (I love it!)
- Katherine Rupp

I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn. You are definitely a "Thought Leader" in Sustainability, and hopefully able to balance public & private interests.

Good for you, good for Burlingame!
Cheers!

"Hey Willi, I like your new picture by the way. I love your interviews, they are so much better than the ones Cooltribe.com posts (don’t tell them). Why don’t you merge Cooltribe.com and planetshifter? Will save me going from one website to the other"
- Catherine Esther

I’m impressed with all you have done. Great work! Thank you from the planet.
