What's your best tweet?
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.
Share on TwitterWhat are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Sustainability, Community, Energy Revolution, and Seafood (sometimes you need to talk about more than just fish)
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
@BarackObama
Why should we vote for you?

What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?

What inspires you to tweet?
The community of people using twitter. They are so smart and passionate and eager to build a new world.
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
yes, during a non-violent direct action, I got very excited and tweeted every 5 minutes
140 characters of advice for a new user?
twitter search is one of the most powerful tools on the internet!
How long can you go without a tweet?
a while, sometimes we lose internet connection while out at sea ;)
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
The community will become more organized, faster & more affective when acting in solidarity w/ global movements. We see this in Egypt now.
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
@BPGlobalPR
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That activism on Twitter is slacktivism & ineffective... I've seen real relationships built, plans made, & thousands mobilized!
Why'd you start tweeting?
For a green and peaceful future... I guess that's kinda predictable ;)
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Organize meet ups and events (that they could tweet from their mobile phones!)
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
assuming people know what your talking about
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
zero deforestation, marine reserves across the ocean, no new nukes, and beating the climate crisis with an energy revolution
