From Sustainazility Wiki
SustainAZility is YOUR open source project to make Arizona the Silicon Valley of Sustainability. Launched on December 13th 2009 at Park&Co in Phoenix Arizona, the concept behind sustainAZility came from Derrick Mains reading his Manifesto for the state of Arizona on the Your3BL Radio Show on October 11th 2009; a manifesto to challenge business owners, sustainability professionals and investors to position Arizona as the foremost leaders on the global sustainability stage. You can see the Sputnik Speech from the launch event here.
SustainAZility is a collaborative product of more than 60 authors (and growing) all over the state of Arizona working collectively to benchmark the assets of our state; assets that include People, Businesses and Organizations and then to use that knowledge base to identify those in Arizona that can work with us to create an economic development for the state.
The benchmarking and building of the plan are done through this wiki. Wiki's are a type of open-source technology which allows any user to contribute to the overall project. Building the wiki can be done autonomously or through one of our wiki-up events held a few times a month, to find an event go to Current events.
Adding something to the wiki is relatively simple. You don't even need a login and password (although by registering for one you will have more functionality). Just find something you would like to contribute and click edit at the top of the page. Enter your text, save and your done. To find areas of the wiki that we are currently working on check out the To do section. Or attend our next wiki-up for more information.
Read below to find out how to contribute and view the Help section for more information.

Some suggestions.
- Don't worry about your writing skills (there are others on here who love to edit, let them) - If you aren't sure what to write do a quick google search of a organization or business in Arizona and part of the sustainability movement and take a few sentence from another site about them, then you can edit it if you like. - Go to a wiki-up, they are a lot of fun and everyone works collectively to teach each other the tips and tricks of wiki'ing - If you want to host a wiki-up at your business contact Derrick Mains
