Shortage of personpower is at present the
major constraint on the development of
the WPM. There is too much to do and too
few people to do it. We are not talking
about weeks of work a year: just a couple
of hours a week would help and make a
major difference. Here are some ways you
can do it.
Nature Organizer:
This is a really impactful area of activity.
If you care actively about nature and
really want to make a difference, then this
is one of the most valuable ways you can
do so. The work would probably involve a
flexible couple of hours a week, less if
more people volunteer. It currently
involves:
Promoting our save habitat click
group with reminders and updates
on totals.
Identifying sites like EcologyFund
where we can directly sponsor
conservation.
Promoting our wildlife habitat
scheme, reminding lists from time to
time with updates, issuing certificates
to members who join up, getting
photos and statements and updating
the nature Web pages.
Promote links with other nature sites.
Archivist/Collector of Pearls of Wisdom:
Our lists contain irreplaceable and
priceless gems of wisdom that at the
moment have only an ephemeral nature.
We need a discriminating archivist to
select and store the best of the lists for
possible inclusion on a CD, or even
publication (Cosmic soup for the
body/soul?).
Local Groups Facilitator:
To organize and promote what we do to
encourage local WPM groups.
Advertizing Scout:
To seek out affordable environment and
science magazines where we could place
small ads.
Local Contacts:
To welcome newcomers, moderate local
lists and facilitate get-togethers.
Checkout the list of existing contacts at
the Members' Center.
Web Updater:
To update Web pages with out of date
links.
If you want to help out in these or any other area,
please write to
describing your skills and
experience, the amount of time you might have available
per month, and the fields you are interested in.
