Team #THINKFWD

George Washington University

Contributor

We are a team of blogging, tweeting, video-producing students from the School of Media & Public Affairs at The George Washington University. This is our blog: http://planetforwardgw.wordpress.com. Together we create multimedia content to inspire a more sustainable future. As a part of Planet Forward, our best videos may be found online at planetforward.org, YouTube, or on the PBS Planet Forward special. Our team uses the #THINKFWD hashtag on Twitter so you can see what we are thinking about and creating at any given time. Look to the future. Be a part of the change. Most importantly, ThinkFWD!
