Our Community
As we pursue communications ethics with an environmental lens, we will share activities, conversations, information and help each other grow and learn. "A website in itself is not a community of practice." It is the shared contributions, interactions and learning that will build the CoP.
Our Domain
We share an interest in communications and have a passion for the environment, and are a "committed membership that values our collective competence and learns from each other."
Our Practice
We are practitioners developing "experiences, stories, tools, ways of addressing recurring problems" through sustained interaction by documenting ideas, lessons, stories, case studies, etc. to build a CoP.
