I’m Iain Keith, a campaigner at Avaaz.org. I have to admit that this is entirely my bad. Pre-Poznan I was in charge of organising teams of volunteers to help with various tasks which would aid our campaign efforts during the conference, we are also about to launch a Polish site to service our 15,000 Polish members.

The email you received was sent to 2000 people, and I have to be honest, the response was overwhelming. So overwhelming in fact, that I didn’t have time to respond to everyone.

On Tuesday, we will be launching an action in Warsaw and will be asking members to participate. Now i know how much energy there is in Poland, it should be easier to coordinate! If you would like to help, please do send me an email: iain@avaaz.org

With regards to the site. The Avaaz model is different from other organisations in that we run campaigns to direct our membership to effective and simple ways to participate in social change. We do not regularly update the website. Instead, we send email updates straight to the community so they know what we’re working on and how they can take action. Here is our most recent climate campaign: http://www.avaaz.org/en/europe_climate_crunch_time

It will be available in Polish very very soon.

All the best,

Iain

I want to clarify that I don’t think Poles live in the dark ages of recycling. I’m just mad that there IS no paper bin next to my building.

Since your Polish is better than mine, can you tell all of us what’s the situation with the door-to-door integrative recycling program in Warsaw that was shut down? Any chance of that starting up again?
