Story prepared by Calit2:  Global ARC Aspires to ‘Connect the Dots’ in a Worldwide Sustainability Network

San Diego, Calif., Oct. 18, 2010 — Global ARC founder Keith Pezzoli’s inspiration and his greatest challenge are one and the same: The number of people around the world seeking to solve global problems is growing by leaps and bounds. While it’s true that many hands make for lighter work, knowledge gaps and redundancies can arise when one set of hands doesn’t know what another is doing. That’s why Pezzoli created the non-profit Global ARC (or Global Action Research Center), an effort to “bridge sustainability worldwide” by connecting educators, researchers, scientists, professionals and community organizers who are working to develop community-based solutions concerning water, food and energy sustainability within specific bioregions. “We’re trying to build an online infrastructure that will enable people to connect the dots and bring global-mindedness into research, education and practice,” says Pezzoli, who is director of Field Research and a lecturer in the Urban Studies and Planning Program at UC San Diego. ....read full article here.
