Hello ethical movers!

After a restorative period off, our team members are emerging again and feeling excited about the year ahead.

Resting and taking a step back was just what was needed to give us great clarity on exactly what we will focus on this year: It’s you!

2022 is the year we will launch The Ethical Move Community.

The work already started last year, but now our focused attention will be on putting in place everything that is needed to build the Community. Get in on the excitement on our Instagram post last month!

Everything we do will be underpinned by our 2022 commitments:

Community. Open Up. Invite.

That means we will be going to greater lengths to involve you in all we do. We plan to learn out loud, sharing our internal marketing conversations, co-creating and collaborating with you and others in this movement.

Because things need to change. And that will take all of us.

Our team is growing!

At the end of last year, Lindsey Wheatley joined the team. Lindsey has hit the ground running, improving processes and supporting project management. (Soon you will find her bio on our team page along with the rest of us)

We are also very happy to welcome Jeanne Wheatley from Stay the Visionary as our new backend magician! 🎉

  • Social media management (planning and execution, mainly on Instagram)
  • Community management (Q2 2022)

More details are available on our site.

What we’re reading right now.

New pledgee Mary LaForge piqued our curiosity when she emailed us about NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), pointing out that the NFT market appears to be an ethical minefield. She shared an article about the case against NFTs which we’ve been discussing on Slack. (Most of us had no detailed knowledge about NFTs.)

Maria, who has been doing research related to the topic, then also shared these articles to inform the discussion:

The co-creator of dogecoin explains why he doesn’t plan to return to crypto

The treachery of images: non-fungible tokens and copyright

Betraying Blockchain: Accountability, Transparency and Document Standards for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

The Metaverse Land Rush Is an Illusion

Happy reading!
