Welcome to Appropedia - Appropedia: The sustainability wiki

I've been creating my own wiki over at http://byrnegreen.com/wiki
My intention is part CV?Resume, part list of resources for helping people "meet the challenges and realize the rewards of going green."

I was excited to come across Appropedia, a wiki focused on Sustainable Technologies. I am adding it to my google bookmarks, an my list of links on the byrnegreen wiki.

Soooooo many initiatives. Keep up the good work all!
