Jazzy: "Experts" usually have other priorities for writing, like creating an 85-page report for some think tank or nonprofit, or whatever. Harriet Tregoning runs a government agency. If you can find anyone, great, but in general it's not a model that has worked.

Blogging happens because people just go and put their thoughts down on paper, not wait for the one ideal person to come along. I didn't know as much about urbanism in DC when I started, and now I know a lot more, thanks to writing things and hearing what commenters had to say. Ken is learning about economic development and education policy as he go (and I'm trying to, also).

So you're free not to write anything, but I don't think a lack of a formal background in sustainability is a disqualification.
