(OK, fair warning. It is blog catch up time!)

Emily Gertz (also a writer with WorldChanging) has launched a dream-child project she has been working on for a while, OneAtlantic. From the site, here's what OneAtlantic is all about:

Global warming, air pollution, energy generation, preserving biodiversity and watersheds, economic justice and prosperity ... these are just some of the complex issues faced along the Atlantic coast. Although they cut across city, county, state and country borders, attempts to solve them are typically defined by those political boundaries -- rather than the geographic (and sometimes ecological) unity of the natural feature we share: the Atlantic Ocean.

OneAtlantic aims to look at these and other concerns with a cross-boarder emphasis that reframes the geography of the east -- looking for the interconnections, laying a foundation for support of policies and projects that will enable people to create a sustainable, healthy, prosperous future for the Atlantic coast.

OneAtlantic will combine media arts - journalism, photography, video, audio - to explore the region's interrelated environmental and economic challenges. It will highlight news from the region's press, publish original writing, and involve contributors from across the region.

Right now the primary focus is North America -- as your founding writer/editor is geographically located thereon. News and views from elsewhere around the Atlantic rim are most welcome and hopefully will become integral to OneAtlantic.

Way to go, Emily!
