Ecological Internet: Nothing Like It on Earth, for Earth Conclusion and future plans for 2009 50K Mid-Year Fund-Raiser
Dear colleagues, Being an optimist, I prefer to consider Ecological Internet's mid-year fund-raiser to be half full. Together we have raised some $24,275 from 111 donors. This is nearly 50% of our goal. Please help us raise a final 5-10K to continue our vital work for Earth by making a donation now at: http://www.ecoearth.info/shared/donate/ I want to briefly tell you about 3 exciting new initiatives in the coming six months that your support will bring to fruition. We intend to expand and join our alert systems with our social network, to allow for a personalized protest experience. You will be able to track the progress on all alerts you have partaken, and easily launch your own petitions and alerts. We intend to share the system with other like-minded groups. Secondly, we are revamping our fund-raising strategy and will be moving to a membership model with your support acknowledged by a beautiful rainforest certificate. The print will be suitable for gifts or framing, physically showsingyour support for Earth, rainforests, water and climate. And lastly, I expect in coming months to finish my book "New Earth Rising" which will academically discuss various protest opportunities to bring global ecological sustainability. Loosely based upon my Earth Meanders essays, the book calls for escalating protest action, and for a Stewardship revolution, should a strong and equitable agreement not be met at, and maintained after, Copenhagen. I coming months I commit to working with you to ensure an end to primary forest logging (including no REDD funding for Sustainable Forest Management, and getting FSC out of the old forest logging business); continuing to push for an end to coal and tar sands, resisting geo-engineering and biomass /biofuels energy as dangerous, and continuing to espouse personal transformation and social change adequate to save Gaia and our and all creatures' being. We knew that having shaken the trees so hard during our recent end of year fund-raiser, and given the economy, this was going to be a difficult goal to achieve. Yet we are pleased with the progress, and will certainly be continuing our groundbreaking Internet work on the vanguard of biocentric thought and action sufficient to achieve global ecological sustainability. Please, we need your help. For Earth, Dr. Glen Barry Donate now: http://www.ecoearth.info/shared/donate/ --- You are subscribed to ecological_internet as [email protected].
