In line with your Climate Challenge goals, Eco Hatchery provides environementally conscious organizations with a free, ready-to-go fundraising initiative that is ideal for non-profit organizations/sustainability committees. You can offer students, neighbors, family and friends a chance to help prevent global warming while they contribute to your organization at the same time. The Eco Starter Kit helps a typical homeowner reduce their annual utility bill by about $260 and cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2.5 tons per year. The emissions reductions are equivalent to replacing a mid-size sedan with a Prius hybrid! For every Eco Starter Kit sold through your organization, Eco Hatchery will contribute $10 of the Kit's price back to your organization. You can also monitor your group's progress online, using the Carbon Calculator that aggregates your group's footprint and tracks energy savings. Flyer attached.

Heat: How to Stop the Planet From Burning by George Monbiot
Heat: How to Stop the Planet From Burning marks an important moment in our civilization’s thinking about global warming. The question is no longer Is climate change actually happening? but What do we do about it? George Monbiot offers an ambitious and far-reaching program to cut our carbon dioxide emissions to the point where the environmental scales start tipping back—away from catastrophe.
Though writing with a "spirit of optimism," Monbiot does not pretend it will be easy. The only way to avoid further devastation, he argues, is a 90% cut in CO2 emissions in the rich nations of the world by 2030. In other words, our response will have to be immediate, and it will have to be decisive.
In every case he supports his proposals with a rigorous investigation into what works, what doesn’t, how much it costs, and what the problems might be. He wages war on bad ideas as energetically as he promotes good ones. And he is not afraid to attack anyone—friend or foe—whose claims are false or whose figures have been fudged.
After all, there is no time to waste. As Monbiot has said himself, "we are the last generation that can make this happen, and this is the last possible moment at which we can make it happen."
George Monbiot is the best-selling author of The Age of Consent and Captive State, as well as the investigative travel books Poisoned Arrows, Amazon Watershed, and No Man’s Land. In 1995, Nelson Mandela presented Monbiot with a United Nations Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement. He has held visiting fellowships or professorships at the universities of Oxford (environmental policy), Bristol (philosophy), Keele (politics), and East London (environmental science). Currently visiting professor of planning at Oxford Brookes University, Monbiot writes a weekly column for the Guardian newspaper.
