Yes, we do! In some cases (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2012\/11\/sharing-economy-save-the-world\/\">Triplepundit&#8217;s planned series on the sharing economy<\/a>), we&#8217;ve figured out that there&#8217;s a new method for funding content out there, and we want to support it. But even more important, I think, is that an awful lot of really creative projects end up on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or similar sites. If you&#8217;ve got something a bit outside the norm for which you need money, the crowd&#8217;s the place to go&#8230; and we bloggers just love &#8220;outside the norm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, on this week&#8217;s <strong>Hangin&#8217; with sustainablog Hangout on Air at Google+<\/strong>, we&#8217;ll be discussing cool green crowdfunding projects&#8230; whether they&#8217;re ours, a friend or colleague&#8217;s, or just something we came across and liked.
