ECOLOGICAL INTERNET: NOTHING LIKE IT ON EARTH, FOR EARTH 2009 50K Mid-Year Fund-Raiser - 16% to goal w/ 62 donors, $42,100 to be raised if ground-breaking efforts are to continue
Why We Like to Think EI is Special and Worthy of Your Support DONATE NOW! http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/ May 31, 2009 Dear colleagues, No global Earth advocacy network even vaguely resembles or is as biologically effective as Ecological Internet. We lay it all on the line every day to develop and implement sufficient biocentric policies to achieve global ecological sustainability. We must meet our funding goal to continue operation. Do not let Ecological Internet a small, highly effective, and truly authentic and honest voice for ecology, truth and justice be silenced. Please donate as much as you can afford to now at: http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/ Ecological Internet facilitates a truly global network of several hundred thousand people working together for a vision of global ecological sustainability. We blend Ph.D. caliber ecological knowledge with cutting edge computer networking in ways never done before. After having invented blogging and the world's first environmental search portals, we have a few tricks left, as we intend to revolutionize the way social networks are used to bring about ecological change. Ecological Internet is needed for Copenhagen and beyond, to push for sufficient ecological policies while resisting rampant greenwash. There is a small window of opportunity to end coal, ancient forest logging and achieve a powering down of industrial society, but it has to start immediately. Now is not the best time to lose the Earth's oldest, most established and successful ecological search engines, news tracking and archiving, and biocentric writings and protest actions. Our needs for band-width, computers and staffing are modest. If we close due to lack of funds, who will uniquely use the Internet, wielding the latest ecological science, to facilitate the speaking of truth to power necessary to avert collapsing atmosphere, oceans, land and water? Who will consistently campaign against geo-engineering, old forest logging, clean coal and the entire suite of necessary policies to save Earth and humanity? We take this work deadly seriously, and want to continue, but cannot do so without adequate funds. We seek hundreds of small donations, and one or two new large donors. Please continue having faith in the power of concerned global citizens, who are mad as hell and aren't going to take Gaia's unnecessary demise any longer, to work together on the Internet, and in their communities, to do what is necessary to maintain a habitable Earth. Please gift the Earth through Ecological Internet, and start working for personal transformation and protesting for social change necessary to save being. Please donate now at: http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/ Warmest regards, Dr. Glen Barry P.S. We are entirely dependent upon our network and web site participants for our funding, having raised all funds over the past 10 years with twice yearly appeals. These appeals are a necessary evil to support truly independent, free thought and action for Earth. Making a donation is not a requirement to be part of our Earth campaign team. You may want to consider volunteering 5-10 hours a week helping with writing, programming and/or database input (but please, serious inquiries only). --- You are subscribed to ecological_internet as [email protected].
