Final 2007 Appeal on Behalf of Ecological Internet

UPDATE: Ecological Internet has raised $61,000 from 185 donors. To fully fund our efforts for the next six months, we still need to raise $14,000 — http://greenmedia.info/wp-redirect.php?url=http://www.climateark.org/donate/

It is not easy speaking truthfully regarding global eco-crises, proposing necessary and sufficient solutions, and organizing action for their implementation. This is my last 2007 appeal to you to gift Ecological Internet to help us defend the Earth.

Since 1990 I have been pioneering the use of the Internet to facilitate environmental conservation, most recently under the name Ecological Internet. While we have had many firsts on the Internet, this has never been as important as the many, many victories protecting rainforests and raising awareness re: climate change and ecological sustainability.

Every day for the past seventeen years I have put everything I have on the table on behalf of the Earth. All I have asked for in return is for network users and participants to help fund the venture. Falling short of the goal will mean that I have to take on a “day job” to meet my family needs (including paying off tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, most used to subsidize these efforts in its early days). EI will continue but at a reduced scale and rate of effectiveness.
