Earth's Ecology & Ecological Internet Need You Now More Than Ever May 11, 2010
Dear colleagues, It is time for Ecological Internets (EI) mid-year fund-raiser in order to allow us to continue campaigning together with you to stop ecosystem destruction and for ecological sustainability. EI is entirely dependent upon network members and web site users to fund our unique and highly effective brand of online deep ecology activism. This gives us enormous freedom to pursue, speak and implement ecological truth. Please support global grassroots biocentric advocacy now with a tax-deductible donation of $100 or what you can afford at: http://www.climateark.org/shared/donate/ Ecological Internet believes humanity is liquidating the ecosystems needed for our shared survival because of an economic and social system based too strongly upon growth. We are at or near important tipping points. If major social and personal changes are not made, ecosystems including forests, water, oceans and the climate will collapse and large portions of, or even the entire, Earth will become uninhabitable. NO ONE provides ecological science based policy analysis and campaigns, and organizes protests and resistance, like EI and our network of over 100,000 citizen activists and groups from virtually every country. With major victories over the past year in Madagascar re: illegal logging and the Amazon re: oil palm; and having substantially expanded our efforts on the ground in Papua New Guinea, and through social networks with Facebook and Twitter; EIs financial needs are greater than ever. We simply must raise $50,000 in the next six weeks (already 21% there!), or after all funds that are raised are expended, we may need to cut back our efforts, or even close our doors. During this time we will be pursuing a public broadcasting type repetitive funding appeal, which has worked for a decade, but can be trying. Please donate if you are able, but by all means stay part of the network! Simply, Earth's ecology & Ecological Internet need you now more than ever! In coming appeals I will be providing a budget for expenditures, highlighting the depth and breadth of EIs work, and argue persuasively that this network and the movement of which we are part is Earths last best hope. As you may be aware, EI is essentially a one person operation with just one full-time staff member (me!) built upon the fruits of my PhD research, 100 hour work weeks, and your generous participation and support. Please, lets get this fund-raising done soon, so we can get back to the task of defending Earth.
