How would you describe your time at Microsoft Windows Live Spaces?
My "Eco Trip" lasted 7 weeks and consisted of traveling from Seattle to NYC using all public transportation and a bicycle! Sponsored by Microsoft/MSN, my 3 fellow Eco Trippers and I navigated their way across the nation and stopped in 10 cities along the way to do service projects and outreach events. Our goal was to raise awareness of environmental issues, share ways to live more sustainably, and promote the LIVE EARTH concert on 7-7-07. During this time we documented the experience as eco-bloggers and photo / video journalists.
