"By 2015, more than 50% of organizations that manage innovation processes will 'gamify' those processes (Gartner Inc., 2011).

"The Darebin Fruit Squad, a crack team of volunteers who, for free, harvest excess fruit and advise on tree maintenance. Leaving residents a box or two, they donate the leftover produce that would otherwise rot to the needy through charities such as Second Bite and the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.

The Climate Reality Project, founded and chaired by former Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore, is dedicated to unleashing a global cultural movement demanding action on the climate crisis. Despite overwhelming international scientific consensus on climate change, the global community still lacks the resolve to implement meaningful solutions. The Climate Reality Project exists to forge an unwavering bedrock of impassioned support necessary for urgent action. With that foundation, together we will ignite the moral courage in our leaders to solve the climate crisis. The Climate Reality Project employs cutting-edge communications and grassroots engagement tools to break the dam of inaction and raise the profile of the climate crisis to its proper state of urgency. With a global movement more than 5 million strong and a grassroots network of Climate Leaders trained by Chairman Al Gore, we stand up to denial, press for solutions, and spread the truth about climate change to empower our leaders to solve the climate crisis.
