This activity is designed to cultivate community on a blog by helping the readers get to know each other.
Spread the Comment Cheer!
Here are the instructions for the Weekend Meet’n’Greet:
- Leave a comment here. You can tell people a little about yourself and your blog. How do your interests intersect with Gaiatribe’s field?
- Next, visit the person who commented above you and read their latest blog post.
- Leave a comment on their site that includes the tagline: Hello, Elizabeth Barrette sent me.
You’re all invited to participate. You can visit more than one blog if you wish. If you are the first person to comment, just say hello to me, and I’ll visit you too! Remember that Gaiatribe uses CommentLuv, so every comment shows people what you are blogging about. Finally, if your blog aspires to a thriving community, you might want to try the Weekend Meet’n’Greet meme there.

Hi Elizabeth! I love your weekend meet-n-greet’s … what a fun idea.
I totally agree with Gaiatribe’s premise … that we are the “thinking” part of the biosphere and that comes with a responsbility to protect the earth and her inhabitants. And … I also believe that it’s not as hard to do as one might think … it’s actually easy because every effort, big or small, counts. I used to think that my actions didn’t really affect the environment … now I know better. Everything we do has a connection to the health of the environment.

Thank you! The meet-n-greet posts give audience members a chance to interact with each other and read related blogs. Over time it should build momentum; the site where I found the idea had dozens of posts on theirs.The environment needs both small-scale and large-scale action. That’s a key reason why I include “what you can do” tips for personal actions as well as political news and petitions for wider projects.
