I was listening to this Ted talk (clipped below) on design and this quote jumped out at me.
"Advertising is a price people pay for being unoriginal."
It raised questions for me about what would users tell their coworkers, friends and others they campaign about Green Media Toolshed. What do we want them to say? How are we original?
In 2000, we started Green Media Toolshed to serve the movement and help environmental groups communicate more effectively with the public. We are committed to that vision.
In the last several years, the world has changed. Communication is no longer just a challenge of reaching out but continues to be a challenge of connecting within and across our movement.

The organizations behind these taglines have done a fantastic job in putting eight words or less to work to build their brands. Now it's your turn to select which are the best in class.
Vote today â Getting Attention blogger and e-news publisher Nancy Schwartz (www.gettingattention.org) wants to know what you think. It'll take you 7minutes or less; polls close Friday, June 20th.
P.S. Please spread the word to colleagues; the more votes, the more accurate the results.
