September 6, 2008 · Print This Article
Each week, EarthFirst.com will be featuring a new ‘Change Agent’ from Changents.com, a social media site that connects people who are doing good in the world with a support system of advocates, donors, publicity generators and fans.
This week’s featured change agents are Debrianna and David Mansini-Forlano, a couple who don’t just talk about making changes in their lives, they live it. The Mansini-Forlanos’ goal is simple: they’re working on making their lives as green as possible, and they want to share it with the world through the videos they post on CurrentTV.
Video topics cover everything from Earthships to electric cars, with stories and interviews on all different forms of sustainability. The pair, who call themselves ‘twodee’ on CurrentTV, aim to present ‘some of the most interesting, inventive and creative people who are the problem solvers when it comes to climate change, supporting local communities and thinking toward a long term existence on our planet’.
The Mansini-Forlanos are showing everyone how easy it can be to go green in your own life. They detail their own efforts including their electric car, solar water heater, composting, rain harvesting and all of the cool new gadgets they’ve discovered to aid them in their conservation efforts. They also loan money to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world through micro-lending organization KIVA.
Check out all of the Mansini-Forlanos’ videos at their page on CurrentTV. Their YouTube video, below, also packs as many green tips as possible into a 3-minute clip:
