Celebrating Earth Day with new sustainable series

BorderJumpers bloggers, Bernard Pollack and Danielle Nierenberg

Today we’re celebrating Earth Day by kicking off a new weekly series from Bernard Pollack and Danielle Nierenberg. They call themselves “BorderJumpers” and they’ll be sharing stories of their travels around the world, starting here today with the continent of Africa.

On this day that is as much about inspiring environmental awareness and appreciation as it is about celebrating the innovations that move us closer toward energy efficiency, sustainability, and a greener economy, we’re especially excited to sharethis series. That’s because Bernie and Danielle are traveling with a green purpose: they’ll be highlighting innovations across the world that offer sustainable ways of reducing hunger and poverty.

They’ve set out to tell stories of hope and success. They’ll be meeting with farmers, community organizers, workers, non-governmental organization, development agencies, and policy-makers to collect their stories, some of which will be shared here.

The first stop in our series? Cape Coast, Ghana, where Bernie and Danielle face “The Door of No Return” and experience the friendly flavor of Ghana.
