\"BorderJumper's

BorderJumpers bloggers, Bernard Pollack and Danielle Nierenberg<\/p><\/div>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The first stop in our series? Cape Coast, Ghana<\/strong><\/a>, where Bernie and Danielle face “The Door of No Return” and experience the friendly flavor of Ghana.<\/p>\n

For more about Bernie and Danielle and the important work they’re doing together, check out www.borderjumpers.org.<\/a><\/em>\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
