Gusse.org - Sustainable Living Exchange

Sustainability and sustainable living are popular catch phrases of late. It’s hardly surprising given the onslaught of environmental woes proposed in environmental disaster extravaganza flicks and real life documentaries.

If you’re one loathe to sit on your haunches and watch the world fall apart, joining Gusse can help you take some definitive action. The site acts as a discussion board for the exchange of viable ideas. Members are encouraged to discuss ways and means of change and collective acts especially in their cities. Professionals can use Gusse to identify proven solutions, reliable sources and emergent trends. Gusse is meant to act as a sort of environmental Amazan.com, in which the products are sustainable ideas. Leveraging the community’s collective wisdom, Gusse wants to foment real change and find new means of living.

“GUSSE is an online place where the world will collectively discuss, review and apply the best ideas for sustainable cities. It's like an Amazon.com for urban solutions: you can browse, get recommendations, share and pick up ideas.

Taking advantage of breakthroughs in technology and interactive learning, GUSSE also fosters an interactive, deeply democratic, global dialogue that will harness the wisdom within cities and get better at putting ideas into action. For the first time ever, being wired all over the world makes such a global, bottom-up approach possible. Your input will help us all figure out how to put emerging social technologies to best use in achieving that goal: making sure that GUSSE is user-friendly, responsive, exciting and - most importantly - useful.”

Gusse has come up with a novel platform for discussing sustainable living. Overall, it has a clean, user-friendly feel which is crucial in coaxing meaningful discussion. The aggregated tools are sure to be incredibly useful to urban professionals for coming up with solutions for viable and sustainable city living.
