Pride of place goes to the Web of Hope in honour and celebration of the life and achievements of Anita Roddick. There is a nice tribute to her on the homepage.
Not many web sites that have a patron, but this one does. Its none other than Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Between the two you get a pretty good sense of where its is coming from.
Here’s what he has to say:
‘Everyone who makes contact with the web of hope becomes part of the solution. The result is an ever-widening virtuous circle of positive change - change achieved not by conflict, but by example; not by competition, but by mutual support.
‘The potential is mind-boggling. If you're interested, I would suggest a simple way forward - just stay in touch with the site, and watch it grow. The moment you feel inclined to bring something to it, don't hesitate. Your thought, however small or local, could be the vital link in a chain, completing yet another strand in the web.’
A natural home for Wild Law, clearly…
The link given is to a page entitled Engage, which seems to sum up what Wild Law is all about:
‘Although small actions all count, true systemic change within our political and economic systems will require a shift from individual to group or collective efforts. We all know that actions like going to the bottle bank will not save the world by themselves.’
Surf your way from there.
