Last Fall, I wrote a post here<\/a>, and another one at SUNfiltered<\/a>, about an ambitious project by one of our former writers: Caroline Savery (she of the tent trauma<\/a>) and her Sust Enable: The Metamentary<\/a><\/em> project. She was fundraising, and I was trying to give her a hand with getting the word out. It didn’t work — the Kickstarter project she started didn’t make its goal — but, as I’ve seen, and as the project itself attests, Caroline’s not one to give up.<\/p>\n

So, she’s fundraising again for this innovative film idea. Based on the learning experiences she had from trying to live a 100% sustainable life<\/a> for 90 days (which ended up only lasting a few weeks because of multiple challenges), she came to understand that the definition of sustainability she entered that endeavor with was flawed… and so modified her original film project into a “metamentary” focused on defining sustainability while still trying to incorporate the idea into her life. Rather than making a film promoting a concept (her original idea), she wants to try to figure that concept out on film.<\/p>\n

I’ve always thought the idea was great (even the original iteration), and am happy to continue to support it. This time, she’s fundraising through IndieGoGo<\/a> (a Kickstarter-like platform)… and this time, I’m getting the word out a bit earlier (she and her team still have 53 days to raise the $5000 they seek).<\/p>\n

Watch the fundraising video above, and consider lending a hand. I’ll kick in $30 as I did with the Kickstarter campaign… if you can’t contribute money, consider spreading the word to help the Sust Enable team reach those who can afford to support their effort financially. I still want to see this film…<\/p>\n

We’re always open to help spread the word about fundraising efforts for worthy sustainability projects… if you know of others, pass ’em along.<\/p>\n
