Hi Everyone,
Happy New Year.  Sorry, no Podcasts this month. We’ll be back in Feb.
We’re taking some time off from the show for the holidays but the work goes on…

Being environmentally conscious, active members of the green community, I am writing to ask for your feedback from the streets, and for your input.

While we did not end 2009 with the decisive treaty we were all hoping for from Copenhagen, if nothing else we should draw motivation from the failure, approaching 2010 with greater vigor in crafting new strategies and tactics that inspire a more carbon neutral culture.  To this ends…

This Sunday 1/10/10 Connie and I will be attending the Northeast Regional Roundtable for The Climate Project in NYC.  We will be meeting with the directors of TCP to discuss the direction of the organization and how we can be of the most service in 2010 and beyond.  I’m asking for your feedback so that we can make good use of this opportunity to refine the organization’s strategy.

TCP has been an informational organization coordinating lectures on the realities of Climate Change and the underlying science.  To date more than 5 million people have seen our lectures, the question is, is this enough?  Since we are not yet living sustainably, I’d argue no, it is not enough.

Please consider the following questions.

How could your organization benefit from TCP resources?

What services can we provide businesses, schools, municipalities and individuals?

Is there a way to apply TCP manpower and connections to facilitate action and implement solutions as opposed to just heralding the problems?

In your observations, what specifically is missing for people in tackling this issue?

What barriers do people have to implementing carbon reduction modifications?

Who should we be going after with our educational campaign, how do we reach them, how do we frame the discussion so they will hear the message?

We welcome any input you may have about how to apply our network of 3000 worldwide volunteers backed by Mr. Gore and world scientists to the challenge of changing the way we consume, provide energy, farm, eat, build, live, grow… In short, exist.  Please be as specific and candid as you can, I look forward to hearing from you all.  ***RESPOND HERE***

Thanks for Listening, Keep Thinkin’ Green.

Greg & Connie
