ECOLOGICAL INTERNET: NOTHING LIKE IT ON EARTH, FOR EARTH 2009 Mid-Year Fund-Raiser, Support EI and Keep Green Hope Alive $50k Funding Appeal. Donate Now! http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/
May 19, 2009 Dear Earth loving colleagues, Ecological Internet (EI) is on the vanguard of biocentric thought and action sufficient to achieve global ecological sustainability. For over 10 years we have run the world's largest, most used and effective Earth Action Network and environmental portals, entirely funded from the generosity of our network members. It is time for our yearly mid-year fund raiser where we must raise $50,000 over the next six weeks to continue advocating for the Earth. Please donate what you can afford now at: http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/ Fresh off victories in the Ivory Coast and U.S Pacific Northwest, EI is currently engaged in campaigns to end industrial agrofuel's rainforest damage and expose FSC greenwash of primary forest logging, and is poised to confront REDD carbon/forest proposals which claim first time industrial logging benefits the climate. No environmental group knows and takes ecological science more seriously, and works more diligently and consistently for the suite of ecological policies -- including ending old forest logging, coal and tar sands -- required to avert global ecosystem collapse. These funds will be used to pay modest salaries for myself and programming and design contractors, and to pay our expensive computer server and bandwidth needs. The first $10K in individual donations is being matched 100%, so your $100 donation now becomes $200! More so than ever, this appeal will depend upon individual donors. Our primary major donor moved forward all support for the year to the beginning of 2009. And after lobbying from Rainforest Action Network, claiming they had been victimized by our FSC ancient forest logging campaign, another major donor dropped their support. Yet we have always enjoyed support from thousands of small donors to meet these needs and will do so again! Every day EI puts our entire being into protecting the Earth and our shared existence. We never back away from challenges, and only pursue what is sufficient and necessary. This one of a kind work simply cannot continue unless this fund-raiser is successful. Let's get these modest yet vital funds raised and get back to together willing a sustainable future into being. Please donate now -- you and the Earth will be glad you did. http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/ Warmest regards, Dr. Glen Barry P.S. We particularly welcome the establishment of monthly automated donations, sometimes called tithes, which greatly help with our cash flow. There is information on this and mailing checks on the donation page at http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/ . These "public broadcasting" type funding appeals are how we raise our funds. If you are unable to donate, we very much value your network participation. --- You are subscribed to ecological_internet as [email protected].
