Organisations and Networks ...

Project Dirt is all about creating an inclusive network for all sorts of green projects, people and organisations. We’re keen to have the likes of NESTA and Lambeth BC, sitting next to organisations such as Earthwatch, sitting next to everyday individuals doing their own projects. This way everyone can see what’s going on, collaborate and co-ordinate their activities.

Its not just about letting everyone head onto the site though. Being a close-knit community. We’re all up for working with the good guys. The guys that are there to help the existing projects. Those that conduct themselves with some green integrity … and are about doing practical and sensible activities.

We’re increasingly being approached by networks/organisations, who want to use Project Dirt as a platform to support their green activities. We’re chuffed with this and want to encourage more and more of such organisations to come and get stuck into the Project Dirt community. Check out some of the below:
