Sleeping rough for a good cause

The amazing Dr Michelle Dickinson is a nanotechnologist, a sustainability nut, and wrote an awesome article for Green Ideas magazine on the new light-proof milk bottles. And now she's sleeping rough on the streets of Auckland to raise funds and awareness for the homelessness charity Lifewise as part of their Big Sleepout.

We reckon this is a really important issue, and one that's often ignored – so if you have a couple of spare pennies, why not jump over to Michelle's web page and make a pledge. Michelle will be spending the night of 4July on the street with just some cardboard and a sleeping bag to keep warm, so if you're keen to make a donation, however small or large, then click here.

Go Michelle!
