If you are looking for a way to be of service, a way to protect your children and grandchildren, and to  protect the environment, all at the Same time, you'll never find an easier,  more effective way:   to help -- to assist -- and 
to make a significant difference --  than to participate in The Global Climate Change Awareness Project.   

We would like you to personally deliver a video and two written messages to the influential people that you know and can contact directly and to the influential people you can contact through someone you know who knows them.  

At the core of this message is the Al Gore video, "An Inconvenient Truth."   Because Global Climate Change is a serious threat to all of humanity, this video,  needs to be seen by millions of people.    Because it's one of the best message-senders yet produced regarding Global Climate Change, we   (The Life Center staff)  have decided to deliver a copy of "An Inconvenient Truth"  to every school, to every church, to every social club, and to every city mayor in the entire United States.   

It will not be simply given away free.   It will be delivered in person by people like you.   It will be given with an obligation to the receiver to show the video to their students/church members/et cetera, and then pass it along to some other person or group for their viewing.   

We need you to be one of people who deliver the envelope containing the video and the related, written messages.   As a token of our appreciation, we will give you a free copy of the video.

.b

Q.   Personal delivery sounds like a lot of trouble to go through.    Why not just put it in the mail?   

A.   First, because we intend to underscore the value of this video, first,  by delivering it via a real live person and second, by getting the recipient to commit to actually viewing it and showing it to their Group.   

The second reason is that this technique gets concerned people like you involved.   It's something that almost anybody can do with relatively little effort.    

The third reason is because our volunteers have access to people we simply cannot reach.   You know people that we don't.   You can access people that we can't access.    

Suppose, for example  you are a friend of the mayor's son or daughter, or your uncle works for your church's pastor or the wife of the school principle is your mother's friend.   With your friend's help, or your uncle's help, or your mother's help, and with your commitment, a personal contact can be made at a level that we could never ever come close to matching.   

  .c

Q.   If I volunteer to deliver a video, what do you expect me to do.   

A.   We invite you to contact one or more of your local, community, church, civic,  and/or social group leaders.   Personally hand deliver a copy of "An Inconvenient Truth" to them.   It will be in an envelope containing three printed  messages taken from this website and a commitment form that you ask them to sign in exchange for the free video.   The commitment form says, in essence,  "I promise to show this to "my group."   The three pages included with the video are printed versions of three messages that are presently on our website.   For the content of these messages, see the section , below, on this page titled:   The Inserts -- What Gets Sent with the Videos.

  .d

This is the ultimate,  low-tech,  low-entry-cost,  big-difference project.    There is very little required to make this plan fully functioning on a large scale.   It started on a shoestring budget.   There is nothing technical that needs to be created.   Everything needed already exists.   It's mostly a function of funding, logistics and volunteers.   We have written and produced the three, half-page inserts that will be delivered with the videos.   For the content of these inserts, see the section below titled:  The Inserts -- What Gets Sent with the Videos.°     

It's actually so simple and so easy to do that almost anybody can participate.   It's so simple and so straight forward that all it takes (on your end)  for you to be on the team is  for you to volunteer to and deliver at least one video.   We'll provide you with the packet(s) containing the video(s)  and the inserts.   

If you're willing to deliver one or more of our packets and/or willing to support the project financially, please contact us.  

  .e

To get the project started, we simply purchased a few copies of the video at the  retail price.  We produced and printed the inserts and the delivery envelope on our own computer system.  

 We are presently seeking a bulk source from which to obtain the videos at cost or by donation.   The production and printing costs for the packets will be significantly reduced as the volume increases.    

We don't yet know exactly what the costs will eventually be for the physical package, itself --  (the video, the inserts, the packaging, and the delivery to our volunteers.)    We also must pay  for the labor to coordinate this project.    And then it's appropriate to direct some money to The Life Center staff so that we can devote their full time and effort on the Global Climate Change Program.   

As still another indication of how this program represents simplicity in action, it's fully functional and it is functioning right now, even without answers to the basic financial questions.   

If you're willing to deliver one or more of our packets and/or willing to support the project financially, please contact us.  

  .e

Q.   What are the Inserts that will be delivered with the video?   Why are they included?

A.   The pages included with the video are printed versions of two messages that are presently on our website.  They are:

To the religious communities:    
How to Know and Love God.°   And protect the Environment at the same time.   

To Everybody:  
If Trees Could Speak in Human Language, What Would they Say?°    As you can probably guess, the part of God that is the trees is not exactly pleased with how humans are treating the Earth's forests.   The message is not sugar coated, so if you are easily offended by the truth, don't read this page.   

  .f

Q.   Why are you focusing on the religious communities?

A.   Because the religious communities, particularly the people in the open-minded end of Christianity are about to become the leaders in reversing the  human-caused Global Climate Change  problem.  

There is a huge population of open-minded, moderate, and progressive people in the Christian community.   These people are highly-skilled, wholesome, spiritually-minded.   They have a long list of positive attributes that make them an ideal resource for derailing the pending  Global-Climate-Change disaster.   

They also have a fully developed communication network and an organizational structure that cannot be found anywhere else in the entire world.   

And if approached using the correct language, even the very conservative Christians have strong potential for working with us.  We say that because there is significant Biblical support for caring for God's creations.        (Reference:    The Christian Community°)

RE:   Distributing Your Video --  An Inconvenient Truth

Dear Mr. Gore,

Thank you for your work at reversing Global Climate Change.    Your  video, "An Inconvenient Truth,"  is  very well done.   It gets your message across with class, with style, and in an interest-holding, entertaining format.   

Because it is one of the best message-senders yet produced regarding Global Climate Change, we  (The Life Center staff)  have decided to deliver a copy of "An Inconvenient Truth"  to every school, to every church, to every social club, and to every city mayor in the entire United States.   

It will not be simply given away free.   It will be delivered in person by one of our volunteers with an obligation to the receiver to show the video to their students/church members/et cetera, and then pass it along to some other person or group for their viewing.

In this regard, we have two questions.   First, what role do you choose to play in this distribution?   The second question is in regard to copyrights.   As you probably know, some educational institution are restricted and/or prohibited from showing copyrighted videos  to their students.   Would you be willing to wave that restriction regarding the showing of your video, "An Inconvenient truth?

The request:   Please remove  the loud, offensive-to-the-ear, out-of-place  header, "Don't Steal this Film." 

Beginning you video with this header, makes a terrible first impression.    We suggest that you  replace it with a brief, piece that contains a message something like this:    

We highly discourage stealing anything, including this video.   If you're smart enough to know how to make an illegal copy this video, you're also smart enough to know how to get a free copy without stealing it.  

This message is for those of you who are so mentally challenged that the only way you know how to get a free video is to steal it:    

If you fit into this mentally challenged minority, please steal this video.   Show it to your friends.   Steal a second copy.   Send it to your enemies.   Steal a third copy.   Send it to one of your local politicians.    Steal a fourth copy . . .   et cetera. . .    

The Video fades our as the speaker continues telling the audience where to send the stolen copies.   After the fade out and three-seconds of silence (with no picture)  the screen fades in to the beginning of the film.

Thank you for you work and thank you for considering our suggestion.   We await your response.

Dear _______ ,  

Thank you for your part in reversing Global Climate Change.   Your agreement to play the video, An Inconvenient Truth, for your group is your demonstration of your willingness to participate in reversing  Global Climate Change.    Thank you.  

In your capacity as a leader, you have access to people whom we cannot contact without a great deal of effort.   Are you willing to further advance the reversal of Global Climate Change by delivering  one or more of our  video-and-information-packets  to others in influential positions?   (And then following up to see that they actually view it themselves and show to their group?)   

If you're thinking about turning down our request,  please remember:   

If  Global Climate Change is allowed to continue, it will destroy the lives of your children and grandchildren.   
It could even kill them.

We await your response.

Thank you.

***   Removing the header, "Don't Steal this Film"

The Al Gore Video is excellent, with the obvious exception of the loud, offensive-to-the-ear, out-of-place  header, "Don't Steal this Film."   

As a point of interest, we have have contacted Mr. Gore and requested that he remove the offensive header and replace it with a brief, animated piece that contains a message something like this:    

We highly discourage stealing anything, including this video.   If you're smart enough to know how to make an illegal copy this video, you're also smart enough to know how to get a free copy without stealing it.  

This message is for those of you who are so mentally challenged that the only way you know how to get a free video is to steal it.    

If you fit into this mentally challenged minority, please steal this video.   Show it to your friends.   Steal a second copy.   Send it to your enemies.   Steal a third copy.   Send it to one of your local politicians.    Steal a fourth copy . . .   et cetera. . .    

The Video fades our as the speaker continues telling the audience where to send the stolen copies.   After the fade out and three-seconds of silence (with no picture)  the screen fades in to the beginning of the film.

We have hot yet received a response to our request.
